Hello AlaN,
Excessive current draw will cause that resistor to get really hot !
One the first things that I would do is to take a resistance reading but make sure you have no power applied measure the resistance from R26 and C38B junction also check all of your wires go through the schematic and look at everything that is feed from C38B one by one check everything!
Sincerely Richard
