DSB79,
RE: Your measurements before...
((" Hi,back again with the values.
Starting with red probe this is from the good diode out of the circuit:
3
|
/ \
1 2
Values
1,2 - 1
2,1 - 1
1,3 - 1
3,1 - 0,755ohm
2,3 - 1
3,2 - 0,755ohm "))
For future reference, whenyou come across a zener diode, these are
the readings you will most often see.
1.xxV one way and 0.xxx the other way. using diode check on our digital meter.
If you are having a problem finding a part to ship is cheaper, I can order the part at
Digi-key and get it for a couple of bucks on USPS and then drop it in an envelope to you for a couple of bucks. May be a cheap way to go.
I can also research it for you for your area too.
Also, if you bought common cathode and installed it, it would be shorting out the circuit. You can see why by looking at the web link I sent you earlier.
If you put the correct part in maybe you will still be okay. Not sure now....
Well, let me know. Best regards, Jamie7
