My resistors were fine, however I needed to re-solder the connections for my LCD display

I noticed mine was not working. Took it apart and the 2nd resistor going left to right is missing? Anyway I had some crappy solder so I just touched the iron to the remaining resistors and it worked! For a week lol. Going to try it agian with a better gun and wire. Will missing the second resistor make a difference?

It shouldn't. The solder itself will serve as a "semi" resistor so you shouldn't have any issues.
