I have a GPS wall charger that isn't charging the GPS even though the charger's power light is on and the GPS light is on when connected. I opened the charger up and tested each circuit component with my multi meter and found that when I put my meter on the diode setting, that one of the diodes (1N5819) seemed to have a reading no matter which side I put the positive and negative leads to.
Not finding much info on the web on this particular diode, is this normal for this diode?
I thought all diodes will only have a reading in one direction not both.
Where can I find this diode...Digikey didn't seem to have it.
