So those tiny 1k ohm resistors, what happens if you were to oh say... drop them into the carpet and wanted to get back to the original settings? Can a solder blob do the trick, or is it really important to get that 1k ohm of resistance in there?

I'll go on record as saying I've tried doing the 'solder-blob' resistor repair on a Slocket adapter card and it worked fine. A Slocket converts a socket-type Pentium/Celeron CPU into a slot-type CPU for use in Slot1 motherboards. It's a printed circuit board with edge connectors and a ZIF socket for the CPU...the resistors are alongside the CPU socket and I chipped one off while latching the heatsink mounting clip.
If it doesn't work (or acts unstable later) you can use a desoldering wick to remove the solder-blob. If you know what size and value of resistor you need, I prolly have one.

Any computer work near or around carpet is pretty much asking for trouble. Whether static electricity or "loosing" stuff in it. I'am not sure, but I would be pretty confident in saying that you are screwed unless you have a resistor. A blob of solder will probably screw it up even more.

Does Radio Shack sell those? I didn't think to look. They are those tiny (like 1 milimeter long) circuit-board mounted resistors. Maybe I can snatch one off some old busted computer junk I hay laying about the house.

 Well you see, you really have to see one to get an idea of how small it is. You could fit +8 of them inside a BB.
