I have searched Digikey and Mouser using their Resistor Code Calculator... Yellow-Yellow-Black-Gold = 44ohm 5%. I cannot find anything on the sites, Is this resistor obsolete and does anyone know what I can use in it's replacement?
The standard E24 series value is 43 ohms 5%. You're not gonna find a 44 ohm 5% part.
Use the highest power metal oxide resistor that will fit properly on the board.

Check the cause of resistor failure. I suggest to put a 47R temporarily while search for more failed parts or components.
That "yellow" band could as easily have been a red or orange having changed due to exessive heat.
To be absolutely sure, schematic is needed, along with finding the fault/reason for the failure.
