protech Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 Hi Could anyone advise on the value this resisitor?It looks like it has failed as it is open circuit when testingit so I can not measure it's resisitance and i do not have anyaccess to the circuit diagram.www.earthspike.com/jv.jpgThe colours, which look fadded, seem to be:WHITE : BROWN : BROWN : RED : SILVERor it could be WHITE : ORANGE : ORANGE : RED : SILVERany ideas on what value it is so I can replace it?also does the colour of the resistor body (blue/green) have any significance?Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gogo2520 Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 hello protech Why can't you check it with a ohm meter? To me it looks like a 1.200 2% resister but I would wait for a secound opion. have fun gogo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
protech Posted February 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 Hi,Because if I try and measure it I get a reading of 'open circuit'.It looks like it has failed so i can't get any readings from it.Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hero999 Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 Could it be grey, red, gold, gold, white?It isn't clear.It's probably a fairly low power resistor.Read the code as per the chart below, then bear in mind the value is most likely to be a standard E24 or E96 value or at least a round value, otherwise it's unlikely to be correct. I'd hazard a guess that it's a fairly low value given its size and how it's mounted a fair distance from the PCB. It looks like the designer has undersized the resistor so replace it with one with a higher power rating.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preferred_value#E_series:_Capacitors_and_resistors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hasanferoz Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 91.1KOHMS WITH 10%TOLERANCE OR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hero999 Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 You won't get 91.1k because it's not a standard value and at 10% tolerance it's impossible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
