    What is the resistor value?

    Hello , I am a beginner at repairing electronics. I know there are some resister value calculators online but I just want to make sure of the value of this resistor (picture provided) the colors are green, black, silver, red and white.


    Please help me repair my old Sony walkman wm-af23. thank you for the help!

    Re: What is the resistor value?

    First off, what is the problem you have with the Walkman, and why do you think this resistor is bad? Did you check it's resistance with a meter?
    It seems to be a 0.5Ω 2%
    I checked the service manual and I don't see this value anywhere in the unit. post a picture of the resistor location.

      Re: What is the resistor value?

      Thanks for your help R_j! The problem with the walkman is that I couldn't hear anything when the tape was being played. (I have good sound on fm/am mode) I've done some research but I had not found a reason for this. I have replaced all caps on the circuit board and that somewhat helped the issue.. now I can hear a very faint sound .

      Honestly i am now guessing at this point..

      The resistor is reading about 1.3 ohms.

      I have attached a couple photos of where the resistor is located..

          The resistor is likely ok and seems to be part of the motor drive circuit. I see the service manual I attached is a bit different. If the problem is with the tape audio only, can you operate it out of its case? if you can try touching the wires on the head with your finger and see if you get a loud buzz, if you do the head could be bad or out of alignment.

            check the head resistance and the cable from it to the board.
            it does move every time you press play

              That's not a resistor, it's an inductor in series with the tape motor power to prevent noise.

              Usually no tape audio is an oxidized radio/tape switch or auto-reverse tape head switch in Walkmans with that feature.

                I can see what looks like a solder bridge next to the bottom right (pin 8) of the LA4570, from a through hole component to an SMD capacitor.

                I also notice discolouration on some tracks and VIAs on the top side of the board, to the left of the marking "C302" which could indicate corrosion and possibly break(s) in a track/via.

                There could also be bad/cracked solder joints somewhere on the board.

                Along with the mode switch that redwire mentioned, I wonder if the connector that the tape-head ribbon cable plugs into might be a suspect for oxidisation.

                  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...

                  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

                  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...
