Blowed resistor value

Post by deltacomet »

I got a Blowed resistor and want to know the value. I can't find by myself ( I'm a colorblind guy )

Resistor in the middle of the JJ multi cap.

Like Black ??? white ???

Thanks :)

It looks like black, brown, white = 1meg which doesn't make any sense.

Maybe the colors changed due to the heat?
In this thread a blown 1k (brown black red) also changed to something like black brown white.

Would a 1k make sense?

I contacted Swart, first mail was without picture and He said 4.7k and said that the earlier has only 2 resistor but after the picture I have no reply..

The guy in electronic store was thinking about a 5 band and gave 0.39 ohm and said that was like a protector resistor ... but I'm secptic about that ...

How do you know it's bad? Did you try measuring it? Resistors can look pretty toasted and still be within spec.
