Cracking the Case of the Burnt Resistor
Originally Published 2 years ago — by Hackaday
When faced with a burnt resistor without a schematic or readable markings, a technique suggested by Learn Electronics Repair involves cutting away the burned resistor and measuring the remaining pieces to get an approximate value. While it may not work for all types of resistors or surface mount components, it can be a helpful method for troubleshooting in the absence of other information.
