>How about the resistors? Any hints? Resistors are easier to spot, as they are a ceramic bar (always white AFAIK) with resist coating on the top side. Then the value is almost always screen printed on the top of the resist. Occasionally there is a laser trim notch in the side of the resist. If this is present then it may well be a <1% tolerance, although in my experience <1% are generally done as a mini-melf type, which is a glass tube with coloured bands indicating value. -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
