Actually, if this works, a single SMT resistor in the same spot as the multi-pack resistor would be orders of magnitude easier to solder than the original one. Just make sure to blob enough goo on the LED side to cover all four pads together. I'd be happy to solder one like that, I could do those in my sleep. The only thing that gave me any real trouble was the closely-spaced group of four sub-miniature pads.
