    Resistors

    How do you determine the wattage on a particular resistor? I have a psu that has a bad 1 megaohm resistor. I don't know the wattage? Can anyone possibly help out? I would appreciate it greatly!!!!
    Thanks

    You can usually tell by the size of the resistor.

    Measure it's length & diameter, then check on the Digikey website for a similar sized resistor to find the wattage.
