Will someone with the same model Picasso take a peek to tell me the resistor value? Thanks

DO NOT replace the resistor,leave it off. This was for the old vesa standard.Some newer monitors ground this PIN and thats why it fries. I ran into this long ago and contacted someone who worked on the PIcasso II boards,and this is the reply:
"Hi,
the card will live happily without the resistor. It was meant to supply 12v on an output pin regarding an old vesa standard to supply an external monitor switch. Today this supply isn't needed anymore just leave the resistor off the board. It wont do any harm.
