does this look suspect?

does the area circled look suspect to anyone else?

also what are the resistor values if i need to replace them?

cheers me old fruits, JuvUK

Don't see anything odd about it, apart from the long legs. Resistors aren't likely to give any trouble, caps are more prone to having shorter lives.

If you want to replace that longlegged resistor for a shortlegged you just have to check the colourcode to find the value:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_color_code

it looks dis-coloured in that area, also that aera smells of burning (yes that special magic smoke smell)

Yup, 2 resistors look awefully dark. From the underside pic looks like its gone through the PCB :huh: ???

Check the two diodes. It's a bit hard to tell from the picture but the discolouration of one of the legs could mean that the diode has had to much voltage on it causing it to fail. Problem is if I'm right there has to be another problem which caused the voltage spike. You'll need to sort that out otherwise the same will happen again.

indeed, i can't see anything else obvious, but i shall continue looking:thumbsup:

Any idea what colour the bands on each of them are? That will tell you their values. Could you get us a macro close up atall?


Alternatively use this online tool to find out ;)

sweet! cheers dude:thumbsup:

Any time juvvie :thumbsup:

The resistor value is as follows -

G - Brn, Grn, Blk = 15 Ohm / 5% tollerance
G - brn, blu, blk = 16 Ohms / 5% tollerance

I have given two posibilities as the blue (blu) could be green (grn) on my laptop monitor =(

The resistor is a high-temp metal film resistor - very common and very cheap =)

You can test the resistance with your multimeter in the "ohm"

In the above image, for testing the resistance you would need the bottom left quadrant. In fact you would need select results in "200" =)
