Need Resistor Value on a Panasonic FZ-10
I've have an FZ-10 model 3DO with a broken resistor at the front of the console near the battery. The resistor's location is labeled R733. The resistor is completely broken off and nowhere to be found (I got the 3DO from an auction). Any out there got a FZ-10 they wouldn't mind opening up to get that value for me? Thanks.
SUCCESS!!!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! 
That value was dead on.
At first, however, I was a little leary too about the value of "0"; so I tried touching a regular 10 ohm resistor to the two points and powered the system up. And to my surprise, it worked! The laser started moving all around like it was searching for a CD (it had not done this previously). So I put "Road Rash" in there and, while still holding the 10 ohm resistor, I powered the 3DO up and it read the game. I was stoked at this point
I then did some research on the existance of a 0 value surface mount resistor. Turns out it does exist and 'green' is a common color for such (just like you said). I guess even though there is no resistance provided, the device still acts as a sort of filter or fuse. Go figure.
Now armed with the knowledge of its existance, I looked around in my junked circuit boards drawer and located some with surface mount components; and sure enough, I found one that read "000". I got it off, put it on the 3DO board, and soldered it on. I powered up the system again and vuala--SUCCESS!
So again, I can't thank you enough for your help. I will surely be more active here now that I got my FZ-10 working.
