Now I need a diode that I can connect in parallel but I don't know what store to buy them from.
I tried radio shack but they have limited items.
Can anyone suggest the replacement diode and the store I can get that diode from??
Buying it online will take some time till I get it.
Thank you.


Forgive me Saran28 if I post to you, and rms59 at the same time.

 

@rms59, YOU are my HERO!

That's what I'm TALKING about. A REAL tech!

 

I would have thought the power correcting chipset, (May not be accurate nomenclature), took a hit.

 

This is one example of which I am referring to, a Power MOSFET used in a lot of laptops,

(Correct me at any time, rms59. I am a fledgling, and can take constructive criticism well)

 

@Saran28,

 

I suggest Mouser Electronics. Radio Shack is VERY limited,
