Hello everyone.
I purchased an 898D+ from ebay last week, opened it up before switching on to check grounding etc - the board looked a bit shoddy, but nothing that stood out as dangerous or unfinished.
I used the iron and heat gun a few times in the last few days, and was quite impressed with it (my long running soldering gear was a
really cheap iron and gun that have lasted me a good 10 years, surprisingly (you know, those cheap red ones available everywhere).
Anyhow, I switched it on today to do some work and... nothing. Checked the fuse: blown. Had a look at the main board: a resistor has died.
Here's a pic of the damage:

Can anyone tell me the value of this resistor?
Also, if anyone has working knowledge of the circuit - what does this resistor do and what would be the likely cause of it's demise?
I have the option of returning the unit, as it's been with me less than a week. Of course, if I can repair it myself (and be sure that the same issue won't crop up again) I will do that to save time and money. On the other hand, if there's another defect which might be causing this problem, maybe it would be best to send it back.
Any ideas/help would be greatly appreciated.
