Quoted from KenLayton:Those 47k resistors at R12 and R13 on the dot matrix power board are always going bad. I've replaced hundreds of them over the years. I usually replace all four at the same time because later on the other two will fail.
Why do they go bad so often? Inferior resistors? or poorly designed board overloading them? is there a way to put more robust versions in, so you don't have to worry about it being a fail point again?
