Hello everyone I'm fairly new to repairs so bear with me please.
I have recently purchased laser war and the yellow pop bumper won't pop it scores and makes sound so I know the switch is good everything else seems to be ok with the exception of 1 resistor on CPU r13 it looks charred. I'm gonna go ahead and replace it but was wondering if that would cause it to not pop. I checked schematics and r13 is on the yellow pop bumper. Everything was working when I bought it.
And what would have been the reason for it to go bad.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as like I said I'm fairly new and know just enough to get in trouble.
