[QUOTE="fdlsys, post: 364986, member: 2310"] Nothing could have happened to caps. That resistor is probably also fine, just took some smoke when you touched the + and - . But just in case, replace it. Spades look fine. Btw, those cRc (grey) power resistors should be soldered "high" so that they clear the PCB and each other by as much as practical to allow the air flowing around them. They CAN get toasty. Green ones (2k2) are for slow discharge of caps, they never get hot. [/QUOTE]
