which resistor do i have on my V12

[zetex]

Hi,

Just looking for a bit of advice, i have a V12 with a G32-11 motherboard in it. i was wondering how you can tell which resistors are in (383 or 303). i can't see what is written on them and i dont have a magnifying glass...

does anyone who has installed on a V12 now what resistors are in this machine with the motherboard number listed above.

also when i look at the 3V power point on the Matrix website its different on mine its not got 50 on it, its alot smaller smd..

any ideas???

Thanks alot

Get yourself a multi-meter.

v12 motherboards has 303 resistors, 683 or 01d resistors.

U can use diffrent v3 points, there is never only 1 avaible (usually)
I use lot of "alternative" points thats not on the diagrams.

Thanks alot for the replies,

just a quick question i have (stupidly) put a 2.68k resistor on a 683 smd resistor instead of a 2.0k that is fitted to a V12.1.

The machine works as for as the machine boots up and what ever cd or dvd game i put in it spins but it does not load. It sounds like it tried to read 2 or 3 times and keeps on trying until i open the lid.

Originals dont work either they do exactly the same as backups do just spins and tries to read 2 or 3 times.

What do i need to check to try and eliminate what has been damaged, oh and how do i check the values of a resistor with a multi meter.

sorry for the stupid quesions but i really dont know how to read resistors to check to see if they are ok...

If it turns out that one of the resisitors is damaged can i replace them with one resistor rather than replace the damaged one and then attached another to it to protect the tracking and the focus...

Thanks alot

the meter should have various ohm ranges 0-200, 200-2k, 2k-20k or something similiar to that.

the smd resistors are read as follows:
a value of 203 = 20 000 ohms
683 = 68 000 ohms
201 = 200 ohms

get the picture - the last value on the smd is the number of zeros to add after the first 2 values.

I think I get it. I have someone that ruined their 683 resistor on his slim. So instead of putting on a 683 SMD + a 2K (summ0ne) resistor.. I can put on a resistor that a 703 SMD or 70K resistor.. right?


hmm wait, since the 2K resistor goes over both 683s.. does it have to be 69K resistors?

Replace the 683 resistors with 100k or 130k resistors. (1003 / 134)

I always do this when i get in 303/683 and always work

And by the way, yes, you ****ed the 683 resistors. Thats what happend when they are ****ed, spin up couple of time and then spin till it stops (slowly)

[aerofx]

Replace each of them with those or 1 100k/130k resistor to cover both of them? I noticed you said resistor"s" but I just want to be sure.

btw, wasn't me that ****ed them. It was the customer who brought it to me

a lot of peopel thinking they have a steady hand to install the chip themselves.

end up breaking it and buying a brand new one in box for us to do .. !!
