I consider myself as newb in electronics so I need your help
I have a multimeter I am trying to repair. Apart from the fuse, another component blew which has a Diac symbol on the PC board and the markings on the component are: 7 L391 1G (see attached pics)
Nothing comes up when I do a search. Can someone tell me where I can get these DIACs or give me a cross reference to another.
Hey Mickster...
Thank for the link. My typical method now to go to Digikey or Mouser cross reference this Z7L391 Metal Oxide Varistor unless you know of another source.
also, please correct me if i'm wrong, is a Varistor the same as a DIAC and should my search be for a Varistor?
Sorry for the late response.
I have cleaned the board, replaced the fuse and did a few tests. As E requested, the meter comes on, but does not respond to voltage and resistance
It is/was an MOV that blew and a new one with the same specs was ordered through Mickster's help.
When the new component comes in, I'll solder it in and feed back with the results.
