    It’s from an Xbox 360.. I happened to damage one by accident when fixing 3ROL issue.. I’ve notice a spare 10/100 network card I have in me drawer has one so i was going to remove and resolder to 360, I must admit I’m pretty shit hot at soldering 🙂

    just wanted to know if any could be used to fix etc etc

    guess if its fecked anyhows you could give it a go and see what happens………like yourself i’ve not done electronics since college so i’m way too rusty to give any helpful advice other than perhaps remember to use a heatsink 😉

    lol @ random fix idea..
    its prolly a resistor or sommat..

    so what are you trying to do to fix 3 red lights?
    I opted to go with replacing the X brackets with 4mm bolts into the heatsinks to clamp the processor, mobo and case together.
    Thus ensuring the processor has a good connection to the mobo.. has been working for about 6 months now.
    (my mate gave me it becauses he is addicted to xbox and couldnt be assed to fix it or wait for send away type fix)

    Thats what I was doing.. fixed a few int past inc my own which has been working over 6 months now.. but I slipped when taking the annoying X-Cunty things off and damaged board.. but should be easy to fix that, then I can get on with the bolt malarky! 🙂

    ahhh.. i see.. ok. well not 100% sure what that thing is.. perhaps try some xbox forums? one of the gurus will be able to tell you what it is just from a vague description and perhaps the smell of the thing 😆 😆

    Its a surface mount diode.

    It should have some markings on it somewhere to identify the value and thats what u need to match for a replacement.

    Hope that helps.

    Have to correct myself now, its a capacitor, you can tell from the text on the board to its right.

    C4N15

    Still should have some markings on it though, but atleast you know now what it is.
