| Oct 15, 2013 at 11:47 | comment | added | gyc | oh! As you said it might well be a 4 band resistor without tolerance. It's very small so I can't figure if there's a space... | |
| Oct 15, 2013 at 11:43 | comment | added | gyc | I use this: digikey.com/us/en/mkt/4-band-resistors.html to calculate the resistor and for green green brown gold it says 550 ohms, if I knew it was 55 ohms I wouldn't have used it... | |
