the raspberry pi 2 which i am having started over heating near the broadcom chipset, and i started checking out if anything was missing. so this is what i found, missing resistor

i then used one of my other raspberry pi to confirm the above case other raspberry pi which i had with missing resistor

so i used a multimeter to find out the resistance,


i found the value of 238 ohm using multimeter


and my question now is there is a small breakage in this image (please check the corner of the elpida chip in the first image) is broken at the corner, and can you help me out with letting me know the accuracy of the multimeter output, and also can you give me some advice on the resistor used in the above circuit so i can replace it, and also can you tell me weather this might be the issue why my raspberry pi isnt booting up and heating my processor ?


thank you so much in advance

 

1) The fact that a component is not on the board means that the component was omitted for a reason. An examination of the schematic drawing will indicate its intended function.

2) You cannot accurately measure resistance in-circuit. Moreover, you are likely to damage something by doing so.

3) The chip should not get hot. I suspect you need a new rPi.

 

The R pi can get hot if you set it up to run faster. I can't remember but at first boot the thing ask if you want to run the video and cpu faster that's why the sale http://www.gearbest.com/raspberry-p...qXoqn8jDvhJ5yunj5d0OPnaWEyrf5CUvYkaAl0d8P8HAQ

It's been years now but I put heatsink on mine it got a little warm the heatsink cooled it off

 

yes part is not populated guess but you can never know and yes these can break off or just not reflowed properly

Put a cooler on the IC?

No the DMM current is too low to do damage

 

I have just had a look at my Raspberry Pi 2 and R76 is not fitted.
