blown R401 on A500
« on: April 04, 2009, 02:53:49 PM »
I got one A500 with totally burnt resistor (R401).
The 'rings' cannot be identified, does anyone know the value?

(The A500 boots fine, though. That resistor is near mouse/joystick ports so that would probably be broken.)
Better sorry than worry.

ok, sorry to resurrect this one but i have almost identical problem again but this time with A500+.
I bought it as 'nonworking' and after plugging in, i heard a large POP, bang!
opened it up and resistor R408  is blown away completely! interestingly its in same place as the one mentioned above in a500

can someone tell me the value? its the only a500+ i got.
(R408 is next to R401 in a500+)

edit: i just read the thread. is R408=R401 in A500+ too?
btw, BinoX, thanks for the answer, it repaired my a500.
