    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?

                    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...

                    A few days ago,I destroyed one of my japanese retro game console by pluging it to 220v outlet.

                    and I finally fixed​ this retro game console by soldering varistor and glass fuse.

                    But I noticed that When I measure voltage of PSU's 5pin connector, it is 8.80-9.07v, 5.13v,3.40-3.48v,GND,GND instead of its rated voltage of 9v 5v 3v GND GND.

                    DVR HIKVISION DS-7208HWI-E1/A BOARD DS-80104 REV 2.2 help identify burnt components
                    by thesame
                    Hy guys , i have a DVR board DS-80104 REV 2.2 that was powered wrong, i have some smds on the board that are blown and i can't identify them , maybe if someone has this board somehow and we can identify the smds', i have searched online and i can't find a schematic.
                    The smds are SOT-23-6 , one of them i think it has the marking ADJF since i found another one on the board with this marking , but the other one it seems that it starts with AG or it looks like. I would really apreciate if someone could help me identify those IC's .

                    What capacitor should I purchase for Power Supply of obsolete game consoles?
                    by chth96
                    hello.

                    I have Sega Saturn and 5 years ago, I recapped all of capacitor in the Power supply, Because At that time, It frequently freezed black screen after SEGA logo displayed.

                    It hardly ever freezed after I finished to recap all of caps in the power supply.

                    But Yesterday, It did not show any screen at all and its green power LED constantly blinked.

                    To my surprise I found that all of two NXH 10v 2200uf capacitors in the secondary area of Power supply have been bulged and It measured 57 mF and 75 mF capacitance.

                    It seems that quality...
