    Is this a fusible resistor?

    This is from the power supply of an LED shop light. The light went completely dead suddenly. I removed the SMPS board and it looked really good except for some bad solder joints. I touched all of them up but the light was still dead. I then found this open resistor that was between the neutral wire of the plug and the transformer. The color bands seem non-standard. Does it indicate 13 ohm, 30 ohm...? I am not sure. What should I replace this with?

    Scratch the middle of the body until you expose the resistance element. Then measure the resistance between the element and each lead. Hopefully one side will be intact.

      Hmm, I couldn't get a reading from either lead... But measuring the element from both sides measured around 1.5 ohms. So guess the official value is probably only 1 or 2 ohms?

        1.5 ohms is a standard value, so it could be that.

          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

          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...

          What resistor ohm will work better to repair this waterpik?
          by artvandalai
          The resistor on this waterpik blew. I changed it with the a similar spec 47ohm 2 watt yageo resistor but it still keeps blowing the resistor. Checking with the multimeter the motor, capacitor, diodes, and thermal fuse all checked normal. Will a higher ohm resistor work better? What ohm resistor will work better to repair this waterpik? This video is showing the repair with a 56 ohm resistor https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_J7_rV7ui1Y

          Lithonia Lighting versus Light of America Compact Fluorescent product quality
          by sam_sam_sam
          I have a Lithonia Lighting 65-Watt Gray Hardwired Compact Fluorescent

          I also have back when Light of America had these light bulbs available for yard lights

          The issue with Light of America was the blast boards had all most certain board failure while bulbs hardly ever fail

          While the Lithonia lighting fixture has all most certain bulb failure

          So I have modified the Lithonia lighting fixture to accept the Light of America light bulb and see how long this will last

          I have only had this light fixture for not more than a year if it...
