news:1174189045.509541.304860@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Good day, folks. I was wondering if you could help me out with a
little research here. I'm a bit new to electronics in general and I
don't know exactly where to look for this kind of information.

The case in point is the playstation 2 gaming console.

Specifically, I need to find out what that is, the tiny black piece
there. A resistance or something? I need some specs because I have a
broken PS2 with that part missing. I was wondering if it could be
replaced by something similar.

Either way, I'm interested in all the resource sites and whatnot about
this sort of thing. Any ideas?

It may well be a resistor. With a very strong magnifying glass or
microscope, can you see any markings on it at all ? How did the one in your
other PS2 come to be missing ? Has it just fallen off the board, or has
someone already removed it ? In general, such items are pretty reliable in
the sorts of positions that this one is ( on a pin of an LSI )

I was removing a faulty modchip (Voltage protection mod for the
SCPH-70012's laser coil motor) and it broke off. Completely my fault
even though I was being considerably gentle with it and it didn't
happen anywhere else.

There are several other identical components (at least in appearance)
all over the PCB but none have markings. The larger ones do but not
these. Looking up the markings was the first thing I thought of but
there were none, hence the creation of this topic.
