Group: Renaissance Man Hero Member Posts: 2765	Hi All. Can anyone identify the component situated right at the front end of this power supply unit please? Bottom RH corner, I thought it might be a Varistor initially but it seems to be in series with the fuse. It’s a Skynet SNP-900 range. I can’t find a circuit diagram available on the net. Cheers Graham. ------------------------ Component ID. 8A5A24A7-5719-4FB4-A94A-6ABADE8AA9FF.png (2732.62 kB, 2160x1620 - viewed 229 times.) --------------------------- Nanny state ?

Indeed the component was seen to be glowing Orange for several seconds lol. Cheers Graham. --------------------------- Nanny state ? Left at the gate !!
