Jadao, G. Beard, and Duke. Thank you guys for the explanations simplified. I can Google this stuff all day and still won't make sense. Even these answers are a bit confusing, I'll have to reread and ponder on them a bit for it to make sense. I did some experimenting and just went ahead and put one of these resistors (or whatever in hell they are -LOL) in and it worked! I already have a pile of donor boards and pulled all these filters off already. I do get them from DHGate & AliExpress : ) I always knew I could put a wire in place of a filter like on iPad and iPhone. I thought that maybe there would be a difference in a MacBook. Nonetheless, I have been getting out of that habit and putting the proper components in their place because if something happens I'd like to have the fuse blow instead of passing through a wire and damaging something else. I am thankful for your guys's feedback ! You can close this one out : )
