Peter,
Don't forget that resistors come in different power ratings - using Henry's suggestion that resistor could be dissipating 1.5 Watts. The most common resistors with wire leads are rated at 0.25 watts. Use a quarter watt resistor where you should be using a larger one will result in another crispy component.
Regards,
Doug.

Hi Peter, if this resistor is open circuit then the only way to know what value it was is to contact Aastra or ... If he resistor was in series on the AC side of the bridge rectifier it probable acts a current regulating device in which case the bridge recifier could have sorted and blown the resister (like a fuse) so before you change it check the BR. The resistor value itself can be approximated by using ohms law: V=I/R etc.

If the device power supply is 5v at 330ma (just guessing) then the device has an internal resistance of:

5v x 0.3amps = 15 ohms

Therefore start at that value and reduce it until the resistor gets slightly warm over a 5 minute period

Good luck

Hi All:

I have a client's 9112i that has apparently burned its power supply
out.  There is a nice crispy resistor just before the bridge rectifier
on the mainboard.  Anyone ever replace this resistor?  Anyone know what
size it is (was)?  I think these models have an overheating problem.
I'm just hoping my lasts for a while.

Peter M.
