i have resistor which is burnt at both the ends
so its color code its damaged
but i can see three of them and not only the last one
they are golden red blue
how can i find the last code
or else if i can fix any other resistor
plz help Urgent

you listed them in reverse:

unknown (first digit)
blue = 6 (second digit)
red = 2 (number of zeroes)
golden = 5% tolerance


you have the last digit 6 so it is quite possible that one before it was 5 (green) because that would be standard value. note, common values are
1
1.2
1.5
1.8
2.2
2.7
3.3
4.7
5.6
6.8
8.2
9.1
10 etc

so what you are likely dealing with is
5600 Ohm

well good luck....

if resistor is burned, there is a chance that even colors you did identify are changed. if you are sure they are ok, then only first one is missing. in that case you could have value between 1600 and 9600 Ohm. however standard values that end with 6 are not many. E24 also covers 5% range and has few more values: 1600 , 3600 , 5600.

to really tell what value is correct you will need schematic. if you don't have it, you may try closer describing circuit (reverse engineer parts around it) and we may be able to provide better educated guess. untill then, this is all you can get....
