My HVAC circuit card looks the same after I did the "fix" about seven months ago. No problems since. Like you said... It works. Enjoy!!!

Default HVAC Dim
Did you get a new board or repair the original? If a new board, where did you get it, Rock Auto or dealer or ?? Also are there any special tools required or simply follow installation instruction? Thanks Silver 04

There is a thread showing a couple of different boards. I don't have the links, but you can do a quick search, and you will find the DIY thread.

A little advice is to hold down the resistor while resoldering it. Get a small amount of solder on your tip and while holding down the resistor with a small screwdriver or something, touch the tip to one end of the resistor and move it back and furth until all the solder is molten. Do this at both ends on every "241"

^^^ good advice, that's what i did. If you have a little solder on the tip of the iron it transfers the heat better and melts down the solder faster i have a writeup i did for another site when i did mine
