smoke from my pot

[blao]

i had to remove my trimmer pot because was smoking:eek:

my question is can i use 2 100 ohm resistors 1/2 watt as temporary fix?

is going to affect any way my read and write or unlocking functions?:confused:

the 2 tester point give me a read of 198 ohm.

thanx blao

smoking pot is illegal where i live. :D

[blao]

smoking and unlocking ......worste:rolleyes:

[aposton]

depends on what you're smoking and who's door you're unlocking

Impedance is impedance whether it is created with a variable resistor or with fixed resisters. If you can achieve the correct impedance with the fixed resisters you have, and they are of a sufficient wattage to handle the current, then there would be no difference between that and a POT.

You Must Have A Nexus.mine Did That Cause The Damn Little Pot They Used Is Crap. Pull And Replace Or Use A 220 Ohm.works For Me.

Thats why they put smoke in All electronics. its the only sure way of knowing that something is fucked!, :cool:

i was thinking of 2 100 ohms each 1 after another. but i'll try 220 if works for you.

just to make sure 1/2 watt right?

thanks

ok sounds good. how you measure ohms? i mean i need to set reader at 2k or 20k?

thanks again

meters differ, but mine will read the actual ohms no matter what scale you choose. the old needle style meters you had to use the multiplier and figure the reading.
Take a resister. Read the color code and find out what it should be. Read it with your test meter and verify that it is correct. 2k would give you a more accurate reading of say 200 ohms rather than the 20k scale, but I suspect that if it's a digital multimeter, you will get the same reading of the resister no matter what scale you select. that is the way the two meters that I own work anyway.
