				Devo 10 Found a resistor burned was created by asafbarhadas			
			
				Hi  guys
I probably charged my Devo 10 wrong, now it will only turn on when i'll take the battery out and put it back again when the switch is on. So i opened the back of the TX and saw a burned resistor... as you can see the resistor's colors are gone...
  as you can see the resistor's colors are gone...
Can someone tell me the colors of that resistor (or ohms)?
Thanks!

				Found a couple of photos online:

If it's green-black-black, that would be 50 ohms. One photo shows a number 52 next to some Chinese words. The silver band at the end is a 'tolerance' and in this case it's 10%, which is pretty typical. (Meaning the actual resistance value could be anywhere from 45 to 55 ohms. (+ or - 10% of 50 ohms.))
The physical size of the resistor typically determines the wattage. From the pics, I'm guessing it's a 1/2 Watt, maybe 1 Watt. You can go bigger wattage, but not smaller if you can't find the part. So don't buy a 1/4 watt, for example.
I hate cracking open my case. If no one else gets to it, maybe I'll open it up and take a look at mine.
Oh, and here's an interesting thread on RC Groups about burned parts from using a 3-cell LiPo. They mention a couple of other parts that might need to be replaced:

				Thanks!!!!!
I hope the resistor is the only damage...
I'll replace it and let you know if it worked
