I am attempting to repair my wife's Macbook Pro (A2251). I know that the RAM is bad and I was initially just getting ready to remove and reball the BGA chips.

Upon initial inspection I realized that it looked like there were two resistors missing on the logic board (highlighted below).

I got the board schematics (attached) and it looks like there should be a resistor there. I am new to looking at these drawings and don't know whether these resistors are configuration dependent or if they are actually missing. In the drawing they are the R2391_3 and R_2391_4 resistors.

I am looking to see:
  • Should these resistors actually be there?
  • What kind of resistors are they? (Not clear to me based on the drawings.... I have dealt with electical drwaings but this format is new to me)
Any help is appreciated! Also attached applicable drawing pages. Zip file contains applicable drawings and .brd file

If you don't get a response here, you might also consider posting on louis rossman's forum (requires a small fee to sign up though, presumably to cut down on useless posts). The readers there are likely to be more familiar with the board-level schematics.
