Hi,

We were hit by thunder few month ago and many devices go fried. I repaired some of them.
Our sound card M-audio Fast track Pro is one of the destroyed item.
When opened I noticed these two burnt resistor.

Any idea which value they have ?

I found an image of that pcb there and it seems these resistors are "0" acting I guess as fuses, could it be ?

What do you think ?

Thank you for your replies

0 is not a fuse, it is a jumper (short circuit). Luckily in your case it acted like a fuse.

Sometimes because of the layout the designer decided to use jumpers, but more often big manufacturers use the same PCB for a family of products.. another soundcard of the same family might have a resistor there.

I have some 0 ohm smd resistors around. I'll replace them and let you know.

I replaced the jumpers. I checked continuity, ok. But no luck.
After further investigation I noticed that chip exploded

Looks like a texas instrument 5(7?)21..

It's in the power supply managment area

Maybe it is 211 op amp? But I cant be sure, you will have to figure out from the layout, if the pins (VCC, GND, input, output) make sense according to the 211 pinout.
