mikobu unlocker?

[jimmie1]

i have a mikobu n2 unlocker with the 4619 chips yellow. i accidently plugged in the wrong voltage into this unlocker and now everytime i plug it in a resister glows red. is it fried? will replacing the glowing whatever fix it? i cant read what is on it (melted) it is right under the external power can some help me with this? i also have a mikobu vortex pro that did not come with external power how do i add one? does any one have a part list for adding the external power. and maybe the part list for the external serial . thankyou jimmie

what is a c106? ex:capacitor.transitor,fuse?

C numbers are capacitors. Most likely you polarity on the adapter you used was wrong, (+/- or positive/Negative).

thanks for responding
would radioshack have one or something equivalent.

Forget RadioSHAFT, check electronic components in the yellow pages. Are you sure it's a resistor?

Mentioned it's right underneath where the external PS plugs in.....could be a Diode to protect from reverse polarity....maybe?

Is it..........tough to describe 'short & fat' ??

I'm not familiar with your board but there is no need for a resistor, since there is an onboard TO3 5V Regulator and caps to 'smooth' out things to pure DC.

If it is a diode and blew, easy enough to replace but who knows what happened 'behind it'.

The TV repair shops are long gone, check out the yellow pages for Audio Repair shops. Frankly, I'd just jump the dead component and if it works, fine if not...........cheaper to just buy a new one from Mili (trust me, it will involve more of your time and expense than the object is worth should you attempt to repair it)!

mikobu n2 is now fixed replaced cap 106 and i am able to program atmel and recieve an atr but no power led. now if only i can figure out what parts i need to add external power supply on the mikobu vortex pro
