Resistor value on 128GB SSD needed - please measure and share

Hi all,

I've been working on a water damaged 2015 Macbook air, following the amazing instructions from Louis Rossman, on YouTube. It's mostly working, but the SSD is dead.

Having looked at the SSD, I can tell a resistor appears to have blown. If you have this SSD, could you please measure it's value and share it? It would be a lifesaver.

Here is a picture of the resistor in question : https://photos.app.goo.gl/QEaVmaBhdgMc44...

The model is a MZ-JPV128R, 128GB out of a 2015 macbook air

@djdannyrock how do you figure that? How do you even know it is a resistor? You have the schematic? You measured it on your SSD....

Hi Daniel, how did you get the ohm value?

@oldturkey03 , wish I had the schematic, it would make this a lot easier. I just assume it's a resistor since it's black. In my experience, resistors are usually black, caps are usually red. Obviously I'm guessing, but without a diagram, I can't do much else.

Pierre Sarazin my comment was really directed toward @djdannyrock. I think somebody is just doing some guessing;-)

11-12ohms measured on a dead MZ-JPV2560; component layout is identical in this area. Haven't got a 128GB SSD to hand but should be the same. Don't use too much heat on the SSD, PCB is thin and you'll boil the chip on the other side

FYI, I replaced it tonight with a resistor I scavenged from another MacBook ... the thing works! Thank you thank you thank you
