i have a small reistor, now im not huge on electronics so i can give you a breif description, and see how i can find some

it is about 3mm long, diameter of about 1.3mm it is orange with brown then black hoop on it so 10 ohm, but could be wrong

i cant do a picture as cant focus on such a small item

looked in rs but cant find anything

also with it being orange is tat differnet form a beige one?

Should have more that 2 bands on it :duh:

[lexus boy]

i know how to read them, the problem is though this only has 2 hoops, hence y i am confused.

Me too then, try a meter and just measure it :D

[lexus boy]

well this one is a bit damaged, i dont fancy taking another out. took me ages to take out under magnifying glass

only ever seen 4/5/6 bands on a resistor.

[Brettster]

is there any marking on the pcb where it came from as to what it is? ie R1 or F1 ive seen fuses that are orange and look like resistors

[lexus boy]

nope no marking on the card

but they are for a Battery charge indicator, so would assume they were resistors

just a though, do diodes have the same markings as resistors?

or would still need 4 bands?

[Brettster]

do you not have macro on your cam? or a webcam with adjustable focus?

[lexus boy]

ill go get my digi cam now from my office.

[lexus boy]

i now have a pic that is huge, as it needs to be so you can see them.

could i email this to some1 to see if they can recognise them?

[Rodders_UK]

could well be a diode - you might wanna meter it and see if it's directional

[dlayen]

could it be a single black line as it could be a 0 ohm link

[lexus boy]

def not a single black line

havent brought meter home (forgot to test it earlier) :S

cheers for direction though, will keep at it :D

[Brettster]

Here's a pic

the surface mount items at the top

[Mark D]

Diodes - I've got loads of them in work.

[lexus boy]

yup cheers for the help and cheers mark :D

i will be buying a few drinks a JAE if they will be in attendance those who have helped

[ColinBarber]

very easy to test diodes with a multimeter it is has a diode function.
