Quoted from McPin54:That makes sense. The reading on and off board is still 10.0
The resistor that i want to use as a replacement measures 10.6 (on and off the board)........is it ok to use as a replacement?
Thanks again
The resistor you are measuring has a colour code of Brown Black Orange which is 10K Ohms = 10,000 Ohms. Replace it with the same colour code.
Your meter does not seem to show a K ohms indication from your pictures, but you are measuring in circuit which is wrong.
