1R3W would suggest that it's resistance is 1 ohm with a power dissipation rating of 3 watts. I agree with Yaakov. Measure it's resistance. The colour coding of the resistor looks like black, black, black, silver , black. This does not make sense so it i possible that the colours have changed if the resistor was running hot. (But if it was removed from the board in your photograph that does not look like it has been effected by heat from the resistor.)

yes was removed

1R3W could also mean 1.3W.... albeit an odd way to do it. Can anybody tell what the color bands actually are, and what direction to read them in? One way sorta makes sense, the other doesn't....? Is that light-colored band white or silver?

I can understand the TP's confusion.

000 x 0.01 .... I'm leaning towards this being a *really low* value resistor, like 0.01 at 1% tolerance, and it's a 3W resistor....?

The image was taking under a microscope. The best you get the condition of it does not look good I think it is white

the meter reading is 4.4 ohms

I measured in Diode mode
Diode mode, is unless its a real expensive meter, based on a standard silicon diode /gate drop, so the schotkey will be forward biased by most meters.

So one way you will get a drop, the other it will be open circuit, just as you have.

It's a 5 band resistor so if the colors were once brown-black-black-silver-gold it would be a 1Ω 5% resistor.

What is the device that the resistor was removed from and what were the fault symptoms that made you suspect the resistor ?
It would help if you can post a schematic of the area around the resistor.

AKAI speaker logic power Fault: No power I have no schematics for it I show an image of the resistor removed and from it you can see the text 1R3W on the board
