    Basic question about resistor

    Hi
    I want to test a 1004 smd resistor with a multimeter if I right this is a 1M ohm resistor. My multimeter has a 2M ohm setting. now my question is my multimeter tests it at 0.045 on the 2M ohm setting is it a bad resistor.
    Sorry just getting myself confused
    Thanks
    Mark

      In circuit can give a low measurement depending on other components connected to it.

              1M, it should read 1 on the 2M scale of your meter.

              the 4 digit code says 100 x 10^4 = 1,000,000

                  So it shows 998KOhms(0.998M Ohms), for 5% resistor, then it is OK.

                      Our posts crossed. 0.998M is good.

                          Dell 2209WA - power supply - Fusible Resistor replacement
                          by jinu_j
                          Hi

                          I am trying to repair an ancient Dell 2209WA Monitor which suddenly shut off with a pop sound. On investigation found that one of the fusible resistors had blown. Further investigation identified multiple components as faulty because of which the fusible resistor blew. Please refer the attached circuit diagram showing the components that were found to be damaged.

                          1. FR950 - blown fusible resistor - 0.2 Ohm 1W
                          2. Q950 - shorted Q950 MOSFET - 650V 10A N Channel Mosfet
                          3. R835 - Blown Resistor - 20KOhm SMD resistor
                          4. D930 - Shorted Schottkey Diode...

                          Need help to replace burned resistor in 350w atx psu
                          by mikey5791
                          Hi to all forum members,

                          Got this faulty 350 watt atx psu dirt cheap from a local online seller as i am keen to use it as a learning tool to repair faulty power supply.
                          The faulty part is quite obvious from the burn area near the 16pin KA7500 BD pwm. The fuse is still intact with good continuity.

                          Upon power on ac, there is 5vdc standby power on cathode of diode D14 and about 10vdc on cathode of diode D13.(This should be the aux power to generate the 12v and 5v rail.)
                          Initially i replace the two burned resistors near my marked red arrow to 200 ohm resistor...

                          Can a resistor lose resistance after hot air?
                          by MidnightRoller
                          I am curious if a 0402 resistor could go from 43 ohm to 0. In electronics class and my experience a resistor can degrade and gain resistance all the way up to not being able to conduct at all. I have never heard of a resistor decreasing in resistance and becoming 0 ohm or a dead short… that's not the direction they fail… or so I thought.

                          I was attempting to remove a wson8 chip on an iMac motherboard and it required a lot of heat, on one side of the chip were 3 0402 resistors that were very close. I popped the chip out unintentionally out of the tweezers and sent those resistors...

                          Is it okay to replace 1/2 watt resistor with 1 watt resistor in AC/DC adapter?
                          by chth96
                          I have purchased an 100-240v AC/5v 2a DC adaptor from aliexpress,and a month ago It smelled burning when I plugin it powerstrip.
                          Since then, This AC/DC adaptor have been out of order.
                          But A few days ago,I replace 0.5 watt resistor with 1 watt resistor(1ohm) in this adapter.
                          After replacing resistor,It succeed to recharge all of android phone.And When I measure voltage on the two pins of USB port,It shows 5.5v
                          Is it okay to replace 1/2 watt resistor with 1 watt resistor in AC/DC adapter?
                          And Is there any possibility that it will suddenly explode as well as to be out...

                          Xiaomi mi 9T missing resistor
                          by badcap111
                          Hi, while trying to replace a broken screen connector on the motherboard, I knocked off a resistor next to the connector, and the resistor vanished. I have tried to find out the value of the resistor by looking at the schematics, but I cannot find the value. The ID of the resistor, or what you should call it, is R6400.

                          I don't know if the resistor is necessary for the phone to function, and the connector is still not soldered on to motherboard. I have contacted Xiaomi and asked them if they know the value, but they want a proof of purchase, which I don't have.

                          Is...
