    I have an issue with my 980m (keeps blowing the triodes on the back of the card) so I replaced the bios chip in a bid to fix that issue. Sadly, although I was able to successfully replace the chip the adhesive on the back of a few solder pads failed and forced me to retrofit a few things. In the process, I lost a few resistors and need to know what values they have in order to get the card working again. I would greatly appreciate if someone who had a 1w0j1 MSI 980m on hand could provide those details for the resistors (and pads) circled in this photo.

    I can provide these tomorrow.

    What's with the lower left corner of the core?

    It got chipped when I was mounting it in my p151sm. It still works fine, however.

    Sorry for the delay. Work has been pretty brutal lately. I think I can get these tonight.
