    can anybody help me understand how to read a diode?

    I have never learned this and need to know a good place to order diodes? diode says 867-15 7n... what does this stuff mean and what should the diode read on meter? I need to learn how to read the codes?

      #6 Bad diode. Best to test them out of circuit (desolder at least one leg, or smd remove from board).

        "867-15 7n..." Is that printed on the body of the Diode? Full numbers?

          yes them numbers are printed on the body of diode can you please explain to me how to read that and where is a good site to order diodes?>

            Perhaps you aren't reading it correctly and it is a 1n867 diode.

              Finding replacement diode iPad Pro 3rd gen A1701
              by asr
              Hello, I am looking for help to replace a damaged diode. The tristar was replaced and a diode was damaged in the process. I have a picture of the diode but dont have an exact donor. I mostly have macbooks for donors and only a few ipad and iphone boards. Diode part number: DSF01S30SCAP
              Im not sure where to find the ipad board number. Anybody have an idea where else this diode is used on other boards? Thanks....

              TV backlight zener diode
              by unimatrix93
              Hello everyone, I'm repairing an LG TV backlight and I noticed some strange behavior when I touching the backlight strip with a missing Zener diode.

              So I replaced the leds on the strips and they seemingly working fine, but soon as I touch the strip which has a missing Zener diode the whole backlight turns off for a few seconds and then turns back on.

              Is this caused by the missing diode? If so what kind of zener diode should I use to replace it?.
              ​​​​
              The led strips has 9 6V leds.

              monowheel repair,Is the diode the problem?
              by NicRac
              Hello everybody☺️ I am glad to be here and looking forward to a good discussion.

              First of all, I am new here. Therefore I will shortly introduce myself.
              I am Nico and currently I study Physics.
              In my freetime I like to build and repair stuff. Especially big battery's.

              A few years ago I got myself an electric unicycle, monowheel or however you call that.
              The battery bms was broken so I replaced and resolder that. Nothing big.
              I used this thing for some years and had a lot of fun. Unfortunately I used it last time in heavy rain. Usually everything...

              NO BODY MARKING Diode
              by dennis_elx33
              Hello Everyone,
              I have 1 diode on a circuit that I suspected to be faulty because the forward and reverse bias has a voltage drop reading.
              While compared to the reading of another diode from the next channel it won't read at reverse bias.
              Now the problem is; it does not have any body marking.
              So I tried to sketch the diagram and found out that it is connected to the base and collector of the C3632 transistor.
              What do you think is this diode?
              Can you please suggest what part number can i use to replace this faulty diode instead?

              Hoping that you...

              Electric lawnmower...purpose of diode...
              by eccerr0r
              I was looking at an old battery powered electric lawnmower I picked up as the previous owner didn't want to buy a new board to replace a ruined old board. Tried to study how it was designed - it appears it has a huge 80A contactor...or rather, a 80A relay. It appears to be SPDT to control the motor. A 30A relay protects the circuitry.

              The weird thing I don't quite get is how this thing is connected. The common contact is connected to the motor. The NO contact is connected to the battery, which is expected, so when the relay is activated, the common is connected to the NO contact and...
