Okay so a friend of mine used my boss psa 230s to power his pedal. What I didn't know is that he daisy chained the power to a couple of them. That being said, he returned it to me, non functioning of course. So I cracked it open, and saw one of the smd resistors are blown, R8 to be specific. I literally can't see what size it used to be. Anybody have any idea what size it is, maybe there's a schematic floating around, or a picture of the pcb with R8 still intact? Any help would be appreciated.
DON'T PANIC!!!! Yes, I know I have TATTOOS! No, I'm NOT a drug dealer (and no I don't really care about how they'll look when I'm older). Just let me do my thing!!!!!!!

the daisy chain was bad?

I guess it drew more amps from the psu than what it's capabilities are. I use it exclusively on my Boss me-70. Only afterwards he told me that he ran something like 8 pedals off of the psu, including his G1 and a couple of synth pedals. Nuts!!!
