Hello, I’m working on repairing the power board from an old digital camera. I would like to restore it even though it’s quite outdated.

I’m confused about the purpose of resistor R73. One terminal is connected to the negative pin of the power connector, and the other terminal goes to the board’s chassis/ground.

At first I thought it might be a current sensor, but if that’s the case, I don’t understand where the signal would be taken from.

Could someone explain the function of this resistor?
