A computer power supply unit component missing

I am repairing a CRS Switching Power Supply , Model: MPT-460EP PMC-1039-EPS-NT .
Capacitors were bulged and I have replaced them and I noticed something is missing from the board.  
I have taken a photo of the area on the power supply board that shows the area where the missing part was.
The area on the board where the part is missing is labelled R22 and seeing the R have guessed wildly the part may be a resistor with a value of 66 somethings.
I have not searched for a schematic of the power supply yet and am wondering if the figures give an indication of the type of part I am looking for.

Edited: I did a little research and think what I am looking for may be a Resistor of value 66mA . Can someone confirm this for me please?

R66 is the name of the component as far as the schematic is concerned. R66 means that this is a resistor, number 66 on the schematic.

Where did you get R22 from? That is clearly R66.

If your component was not there initially then you should not place it because it is missing! Sometimes, it is useful for a manufacturer to have space for some components on the board that are not normally populated. This way they can change the specifications of the products by playing with those components.

Not sure where you got 66mA from, it really is irrelevant here.

A Happy New Year to everyone.
I am please to tell I repaired this power supply.
I replaced a 6800uF 10V capacitor with 2 x 3300uF 10V capacitors and the other 5 bulging capacitors and  using it in my #1 computer.
What I found out is the missing component may have been a manufacturing component used to test the unit after manufacture then clipped off before sale.
Thank you for somewhere to come to let me think.......out loud about this power supply unit problem.
