Hi,
I've got a thread going in the monitor repair forum where I've come across this "resistor" type thingie. (here: https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=12597) I am posting this here in the hopes that maybe some more people will see it and can comment on it.
I'm attaching an image below showing an apparent resistor (R106 on the PCB) with some strange color coding that doesn't seem to be possible.
The colors are brown black silver gold green
This makes no sense, as silver cannot be the third color in a 5 band coded resistor.
Changing out gray for the silver band leaves me with a resistor valued at 10.8 Ω with a ±.5% tollerance.
In a metal film, ceramic or otherwise flameproof resistor, a value of 10.8 Ω isn't even available in any tollerance rating. So I am very unsure of what I've got here.
It's in an LCD monitor power board, coming off the -lead of the main filter cap, bridging to the Source pin of a Power MOSFET, if that helps at all. The thing measures essentially .1 Ω currently, with no evidence of being burnt or damaged. The board ran extremely hot when it was working, and now I'm wondering if perhaps this component allowing too much current into the circuit could have been part of the reason.
Any help with this conundrum is VERY much appreciated!
Thanks,
Steve
