It's a 470 ohm resistor, not 470k, but yes. The positive end connects to the 470 resistor and the negative end connects to ground.
However, if none of the switches work now and the #4 LED blinks constantly, you've got a short to ground at the #4 foot switch. Pressing a foot switch causes a short to ground. If #4 LED is blinking, it thinks you're pressing and holding the #4 foot switch. Since you aren't pressing and holding the #4 foot switch, you must have a short somewhere between the #4 eyelet on the PCB and its solder terminal on the foot switch.
Yep. Ohm. My bad. So, which 470 ohm resistor is it? Which side? and what do I do about the negative ground? Can I connect it to the negative of another LED?
I can still see the wires connect to the board which means I need to take this thing apart. That frightens me as I had a hard enough time lining up the LEDs before I soldered and desoldered. Plus, desoldering - which is why I'm here in the first place.
Random question: Would it be possible for me to buy a new board and the components? This might be easier than the desoldering all of the LEDs and then having to clean the holes and realign. I already have the jacks, foot switches, power jack, and box. I just need the board and components.
