You should definitely go with resoldering (if you ask me). Simple reason(s):
1. you consider buying a new mainboard anyway, so why not fix it?
2. More experimenting (means more learning)
3. Price for components such as these are mere cents.
And you would need a good pair of tweezers and an even better magnifier Or a member here could help us out, but definitely worth trying. Would be pity to throw such a good board away, just because three components worth a few cents are missing.
Last night after @SuDoDmz cracked the mystery, I ordered a new board right away and it should be arriving tomorrow.Glad there is some rhyme and reason to this issue. Good job damaging your board
That said, the missing parts are "just" resisters and there is a pretty good chance the board will work fine by simply bridging the space between the missing resisters with a conductive ink /solder pen. should be able to get that for like $10.

EDIT- get a crabon based pen since it has some resistance anyway
I'm loving the experimental side, but it has been just about the only thing I've been doing for the last week or so.
I might try soldering my board the quick-and-dirty way as suggested by @genzai. A friend that lives nearby is into electronic projects and I believe he has a proper soldering station ... if so, he just might be the right guy to fix it the proper way for me, with replacing the correct resistors.
Damn, you cracked my secret how the components went AWAL as well Although I think it was the SOIC8-clip doing the whacking in my case.Kind words, really, buuut...
...have whacked some components myself, back in the day. That tiny stuff really isn't robust, at all. You could take those down with your fingernail. I think these are the reasons, why I noticed
If it means anything ... your unfortunate experience back in the day was very helpful for me.
Thanks guys!
