2.2k resistor variant for snes mod?

Im in the process doing my first mod (snes 50/60hz and region) but am not sure about the resistor that I purchased today. From all the pictures I've seen, people have used a resistor with three red bands. My one is red, red, black, brown, brown. Will it be okay to use?

 

You actually have the same resistor. Yours just uses the 5-band identification as opposed to the 4-band.

Red/Red/Red/Gold = 2.20K Ohm +/- 5% (I'm assuming gold, but that is just the % tolerance)
Red/Red/Black/Brown/Brown = 2.20K Ohm +/- 1%

 

Thanks

 

I've just finished modding my ntsc snes but there is a bit of a problem. The 50/60 hz switch works fine but the region switch doesn't. When the region switch is in ntsc position the console will play ntsc and PAL games, but when I switch it to ground I just get a black screen. I've re soldered everything but still the same. Any ideas?

 

The screen should go black in one position, since you are activating the CIC.

Games NOT designed for that region = Black screen - CIC - Activated.
Games designed for that region = Gameplay.

Borrow thread: What is the resistor for? Limit current? Limit voltage? Shouldnt the chip be 5V as well?

EDIT: Also remember most switches are wired "reversed" so the side you think is the "right" one might be the opposite.

 

you still have the SNES open? if it is still open, I ask please by a subsidiary with the tester the voltage regulator, and if output and ground, they give continuity between the pin 2, when turned off the console.
