Pieces missing on logic board

My macbook had a little fall to the ground and after that it did not want to start up.

It does power up, and the white light goes on. But nothing on the screen.

So i took the back panel off and took a look around. I saw 2 missing pieces on the logic board. 2 small square resistors i guess.

My question is if these are possible to fix? I did not find the ones that where broken off.

Anyone know what type or where i can get this "resistors"?

Or can i just solder on some wire

Is this a good question?

Yes No

You may get a bit more help if you at least post an image of where the components are. It is not clear by your description what components could be missing.

+ what he said - resistors (and other parts) have color codes to help identify them. A clear sharp image of them, and where you think they may have popped off from would be very helpful. The more information you provide, the more assistance we can give

I have now got solderd on the parts that fell off. And still nothing.

I have not tried heating it. That could do the trick. Thanks :)

Have you made sure the pieces were aligned appropriately? As in (+) and (-).

What part hit the ground first?
