    Need help to buy replacement for toasted diodes

    Hi! I hope someone can help me out cause I'm looking into replacing one of the barrier diode that is faulty on my VDO odometer circuitboard due to short circuit lately. The part has marking on its body which reads "SJ" on the upper row while "39" on the lower.

    Close-up photos included for the part and the numbers but the problem i can't find this part for sale anywhere. Oh! I don't even know if this part has any datasheet available for free online. So I wonder does anybody know any suitable replacement ot something equivalent to it?

    Thanks ahead..

    Attached is its specs within its series , and you can still find it depending on your location otherwise , you can acquire a similar one from vishay ..

      Hi Jiroy,
      Thanks a lot for your responses, the info you given here is very much useful and correct. I'll post some of the follow up repairs of the VDO odometer circuit board which i'm currently working on after i buy the replacement parts frm my local online store. Cheers!

          On M-Audio AV40 active studio speaker's two zener diodes get really hot.
          by Dvsr
          Hi. I need help from wiser guys. I am amateur in electronics and can't figure this out by myself.
          I bought faulty speakers, M-Audio AV40's. Other speaker has all the electronics in it and the other speaker is just passive one powered by the other speaker's amp. Original problem with the speakers was loud buzzing. I figured out that there is something wrong with the capacitors. I went ahead and replaced every electrolytic capacitor on the PCB. The caps are good quality and have the same values as the original ones.
          After replacing the caps I started testing out the speaker. It seemed...

          Lenovo T480s usb-c charging port replacement - Knocked off a couple of diodes.
          by Nikolai Danylchyk
          Hi folks. As the title says, I was doing a port replacement on a Lenovo Thinkpad T480s and in the process of post-solder cleaning, I somehow knocked off 2 or 3 diodes (i think they are diodes) near the main usb-c. I can't seem to find what kind of a diode is that. I know it's ultra tiny and just has a letter "G" on it. Would someone maybe have a proper schematic for the t480s model? I can only find the non-s one and it's quite different to the "s". Would love to figure out what component that is.
          Thanks in advance!...

          What Zener Diodes on a Linear Power Supply
          by caspian
          Dear members,

          I have a linear variable power supply with unknown brand name that I used for voltage injection.
          Then it failed. I discovered that its transistors (Q1 and Q2) are shorted.
          In addition, I discovered that its zener diodes are defective.
          I can replace the burned transistors.
          But I do not know the model of the zener diodes. the model number is not marked on the zener diodes.
          Therefore, I cannot replace the zener diodes.
          I do not want to test the zener diodes in a test circuit to discover their model or value.
          no schematics are available...

          Macbook Air M2 A2681 Kernel panics after screen replacement
          by reformatt
          Just had a customer bring in a M2 MBA A2681 that had had a screen replacement in April at another repairer. Since then, she has been getting intermittent kernel panics. It's an aftermarket screen, and of course it fails in diagnostics as the calibration hasn't been done. The error in the panic log is "No device added after powering on the rails".

          It seems the original repairer has swapped the board and the screen to other MAC's, and said that it isn't a screen issue. From what I understand, by doing a quick search on Google, this is in fact a screen issue. The panic relates...

          Unknown transformer : how to find a good replacement part ?
          by the_rem
          Hello guys,

          I would like a quite old but still good 800 W ATX PSU to be repaired. The problem was an extremely heavy coil whine coming from the small secondary transfomer on the PCB.

          I desoldered it hoping the references on the upper side would allow me to find a adequate replacement part. Sadly the written references drove me nowhere but to the manufacturer (I-MAG). I sent them a message like a bottle in the see asking them to send me a datasheet of the transformer. And... They responded ! I received a kind of datasheet (see attachment) but my competencies do not allow...
