whath seem- look like a chip resistor(smd ceramic), typically 2x2mm,
white, whit soldered pads (2-wire) .
where is- in the near of the tape path, very close to the head drum
electrical resistance-10kohm to 50 kohm.
maybe is better do not short, but in perallel a 5-10kohm resistor.
the big problem is found it end attach the wire.
often with 2 screw under little seal You can remove the cover
cassette.
GOOD LUCK
