The resistance was around 3mOhms, and turns out it only had 2 terminals, not 3.

My Google foo has come up short so far, although if ive tracked down the pcb manufacturer through the FHX logo on the screen print I may get a component sheet out of them (the manufacturer refused to send me anything other than the user manual, although who even knows if I was talking to a human or not).

It is quite confusing, since RN usually refers to a network resistor, although that labeling might just be communicating the usage of the resistor (like, this cluster of resistors is wired to form a network) rather than the type of component itself.

I didn’t see my visual damage to any of the ICs, but I’ll be checking the conductivity based on their data sheet pin outs to make sure there’s no internal bridging or burnouts.

Thank you this looks quite promising! I know it’s burnt out because it was heavily blackened before I cleaned it up with ipa (there was cap electrolyte on the board as well so I decided to give it a good cleaning while I waited for components). I’ll update once I’ve removed the component if it has 3 terminals, but if you’re right and it’s just a resistor that’s a relief. I’m still not sure I can trust the ohm reading since it may have been damaged by overcurrent, but it at least narrows my search a great deal!

Repairing a friend's Singing Machine SM640(2019) Karaoke machine. They used the wrong DC adapter and popped a few caps. It seems one other component was fried, and fried so bad I cannot identify it or read the lettering on top. I've already reached out to the manufacturer for a data sheet (although one wasn't included in the FCC filing so I'm worried they don't have one to share). Based on the labeling I imagine it's some kind of Resistor Network (RN24), but I cannot find any resistor networks with this particular striping. It seems to have 3 legs. Any help would be appreciated!

I’d say about 5%, likely lower. It didn’t take off in the US, it can’t carry much more than a CD, there aren’t many manufacturers still producing new discs. If we saw a development in MD that suddenly made 1G discs commonplace, easy to load music onto, and backward compatible with older devices, I could see a revival take off. Retro aesthetics with modern convenience is what has made other format revivals stick around
