Hi all,
I've got a charger for a multitool which has given up, I've cracked the case open and found a burn/scorch mark around a resistor, tested across the legs with a multimeter and got open connection.
Colour banding looks like Yellow, violet, gold <white> gold.
The white is an unknown - not sure if its just a gap or i cant see it properly so hoping one of you wonderful people could confirm?
I believe if its Yellow, violet, gold gold then the value is 4.7 ohms, +- 5%?
If so, what wattage should I look to replace it with? current resistor as per pic is fairly large, with blue colour to it? and one leg is connected to 230v mains uk power. The input is labelled as 100/240v 50/60Hz 15w, The output for the charger is 13v 600mA.
So should I be looking for a 4.7 Ohm +-5% 15w resistor?
