Click For Summary
A user is seeking help to identify a burned resistor from a mainboard of an origami stroller, with only partial color bands remaining. Measurements suggest the resistor may have originally been around 10 KΩ, likely a 1/2 watt rating, but the exact specifications are unclear without a schematic. Discussions point out that the resistor's failure could indicate damage to other components, especially if it was subjected to incorrect voltage or polarity during previous use. Suggestions include replacing the resistor with a 10 KΩ and checking nearby capacitors, while also considering the potential need for a more thorough inspection of the board. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding circuit behavior before proceeding with repairs.

yes Dadface there is nothing that i or another member could find shame it would have made it abit more simple.

I cannot seem to find where i could buy one from ..
If you have or could make an account at http://www.ebay.com/, you can get 10 for US $1.70 from http://www.ebay.com/itm/10pc-SMD-Voltage-Regulator-IC-78D05-5V-0-5A-TO-252-UTC-/131872655850?hash=item1eb43909ea:m:mewwUp7l5Q3g0cQ2z133Efw.

thankyou jim i afraid it shows nothing at all no voltage

No voltage at output pin? What about input pin?

Here's its datasheet.

Looks to me like an industry standard part. TI or ONSEMI or anybody's 7805 should work,
usually i suggest getting the same package, dimensions are industry standard too,
but for your repair one of the TO251 's would work if you can bend the leads to make it physically fit so you can solder it in.

You could get one at Radio Shack just to try out. You might find one in a discarded VCR or wireless router, they're a very common IC.

good luck

Just an update after week of trying I have given up I replaced most parts and managed to get 11.3 volts on the output pins the battery was 11.1v so I thought I was on to a winner but alas no nothing worked I connected my desktop power supply to the knob on the handle bars and managed to get it to light up with 15v I'm not sure what's up but I have put back together before I forgot how it all went still had fun with some soldering and trying to work out how it all worked I failed but it was worth it
Anyway just wanted to thank everyone who commented and tried to help me
