    How can I identify varistor which have been blew up?

    I mistakely pluged 100v japanese retro game console to 220v outlet.
    So It seems that glass fuse and varistor have been blew up.
    I can identify that voltage and ampere value of glass fuse(250V LF 1.6A),but It is impossible to identify varistor type in my sega saturn PSU(YAMAHA 35M07U XR258)
    Is there any way to identify varistor type in my sega saturn PSU?
    Any reply would be appreciated.


    EDIT:
    It seems that I finally found out what type this black varistor is. It is Panasonic ERZV05D221 “ZNR” Transient/Surge Absorbers (Type D) Varistor Voltage of 220V. 5mm diameter.​
    But It is very expensive varistor in my country.
    Is there any alternative varistor which substitute for Panasonic ERZV05D221?

      In my country,any electronic component which came from japanese is very uncommon and rare,
      So I regularly use aliexpress shop where has some electronic component I am looking for.
      But it seems that I have to purchase ERZV05D221 more than 20 quantity in aliexpress shop and Its price is quite expensive.
      there is no aliexpress shop where allow to purchase less than 10 quantity of ERZV05D221..

          i checked exchange rate and was surprised 1 GBP = 19,566.8 IDR , it was only 1200 when i was there . so the price looks good to me from RS .

            Its price is reasonable but Delivery (flat rate) price is ridiculously expensive.

            Subtotal SGD4.65
            Delivery (flat rate)* SGD 40​
            Total SGD44.65

            I would prefer to purchase from aliexpress where the Delivery price is much cheaper than rs-online..

                ERZV05D221 spec is 5mm 220V @ 0.1mA, max. 140VRMS or 180VDC. Substitute 05D221K or 07D221 a little bigger at 7mm from Ali.
                It does not solve the problem of 100VAC PSU and you have 220V... The primary cap is only 200VDC in the pic.

                  Thank you very much for reply! I already have Down Trans Voltage Converter 220v to 100v,I mistakely pluged 100v japanese retro game console to 220v outlet.
                  Now,It is possible to purchase alternative varistor from aliexpress at a reasonable price.
                  By the way,I have another PSU for same game console, But this spare PSU can not be replace with problematic PSU, Because it has only 4 pin connector instead of 5 pin.
                  It seems that there is green varistor close to glass fuse and it is written "O5 220NA 53" on it.
                  I cannot even identify its brief spec, But Is it Okay to pull green varistor out from spare PSU and solder it to replace with blown up black varistor?

                    Need help with Sega Neptune board
                    by Dukenukemx
                    I need help identifying parts I need to install on this board. I'm not sure what goes in D801 as I think it's a rectifier diode 2amp which I did install a 3amp, but I'm not sure which orientation it goes? I did post an image of what I solder in place.

                    I also don't know what is a 100u for L501 and L502. Is that a 100uf inductor? Here's a link to the board view.

                    Macintosh Quadra 840AV PSU
                    by nicktasios
                    I had my Quadra 840AV (which I recapped and had working) plugged in for some time without using it and randomly decided to turn it on today. Unfortunately it did not turn on. After checking the PSU, I found out I was not getting anything from 12V, only from the 5V rail. After a few minutes, I removed the PSU and plugged it back in the electrical outlet and it suddenly started making a weird sound and soon after smoke started coming out. I quickly unplugged it. I opened it up but on first instance I didn't see anything out of the ordinary really. I later turned it back on and one of the MOVs blew...

                    identify capacitor for MacBook Pro with rare logic board 820-02037-06
                    by devsigner
                    Hi

                    While messing around with my MacBook Pro, I stupidly pinged off a very small surface mounted component that I’m now trying to identify.
                    resistance tests show a rising resistance value, indicating a capacitor.

                    The laptop boots up and runs, however I'm choosing not to use it until I get it fixed.

                    i can’t see any markings on the capacitor at 10x magnification using a professional jewler's loop.

                    It seems like there's some damage to the capacitor - one side doesn't have "shiny bits" - can you tell I don't do this for a living!...

                    Lenovo Legion 7 - Help Identify IC
                    by silver60618
                    Hi gang, its a long shot, but working on Lenovo Legion Pro 7 motherboard NM-F091, and trying to identify this component near GPU with marking "eHFQH" that is burned and shorting the board. Looks like power management IC

                    I couldnt find any schematic or boardview. The CPU side also has same chip. Any way to identify this chip? or take measurements from the good chip to determine what it is?

                    Any help would be appreciated...
