Re: I need help identifying the issue with my Magnavox MDR513H dvd recorder!

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.

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!...
