Cap..
Maybe, but for one problen. Surface mount resistors are rarely orange.
Orange sounds more like a capacitor. Maybe it _is_ a capacitor and is
leaky. Maybe there's a resistor you've mised (yes, I know how easy it is
to do this, so I am not moaning).
Yes it is a talutum (sp?) cap it's orange body and did it has tiny
pip on one end? That's polarity, and much thicker and usually square
cross section.
I see this on high end quality boards and sometimes on
CDC/Imprimis/Seagate HDs.
