    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..

    It's a S1J surface mount rectifier , Originally made by General Semiconductor Inc. which Vishay Intertechnology has acquired in a $538.9 million stock transaction exchanging ...

    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!

          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...

          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...

          PS4 controller left stick potentiometer replacement issue
          by ezenia
          Hello,

          Not sure if this is the correct section, but I have a PS4 controller that I am trying to fix. It developed stick drift on the left stick and the usual simpler methods did not fix the problem.

          So I went on eBay and ordered some replacement potentiometers. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/174967976757 is where I got them from.

          I took the green potentiometers off the replacement sticks and soldered them onto the PCB. Assembled the controller and ran some tests. The drifting was somewhat fixed (not fully in center, but way better than before). However,...

          Macbook pro logic board replacement parts quesion
          by boosti45
          i have a 2020 macbook pro 13" A2251 with 820-09149 logic board so i found an issue with chip labeled U6903 according to schem. boardview using flexBV software, so i removed it from the board and the issue im having is that the chip says "07A08FI ELC180​" on top of it but when searching for a replacement chip, i can find tons of identical looking chips that also have "ELC180" printed on them but the first set of digits is never the same so im trying to find out if i need this exact chip with these same numbers as mine and if not which ones are compatible as a replacement?...
