You need to remove 4 capacitors, not resistors. They are not the same thing.

@fzabkar sorry for the resistor, you are right. In Greece we have a bad habit naming things being comfortable with! :) . A friend at the forum helped me once giving me a photo of which capacitors have to be removed, but at a USB 3.0 PCB. i tried to find a photo with this PCB but couldn't find one.
