Broken Surface Mount Resistor on A7N8X repairable?

Hey i think i may have hit it with a regular screw driver while mounting the heatsink / fan. but i am not sure, that is the only thing i can think of. does anyone know where i could find out exactly what it is, so i can replace it with a new one? I followed the trace, and it goes from the CPU to the Northbridge. But i am not sure what it is and or what it does. here are are some pics.









I called ASUS and they "could not release that information" but they were more than willing to have me send it in and charge me to fix it. i have google'd it to death, and all i can find out is that they are surface mount resistors of some sort, but i dont want to put the wrong one on there and mess up the board even more. thanks...
