I'm trying to identify a faulty diode on the Charger-board [B]PWA-WEASEL P4/DD_CHARGER BD[/B] from a [B]Packard Bell Versa E400[/B] laptop (weasel by name, weasel by nature! ;) LOL) It's only marked as [B]34 26[/B] (item PD7 on the PCB legend) hxtp://img24.imageshack.us/img24/1160/1packardbellversae400ponw0.jpg (sorry for sneaking the link in, but without the image, there would be no hope at all of anyone having a clue what I was going on about? :S ) Whilst I know the diode is short-circuit, due to the close proximity I wonder if the transistor marked as [B]8K C9[/B] (PU1 on the PCB legend) could also be faulty? though it may have an internal diode that's giving me a double reading from base to emitter? It could prove useful to also know what this component is too? Can anyone please help? Thanks in advance Alan
