hi guys...got a little tired of soldering and i decided to take some experiment out.
now this one, i took-out the lence of a dead CD rom and i actually got deep down into the coil. i really could not figure-out what i saw, it looked like a transceiver or will i call it a phototransistor?. it comprises of a mentalic case with three terminals coming out from it and the surface was covered with glase. my belive is that, it's actully a transmitter and receiver combined together. my question is, what is the name of this componet and what function does it perform?
I also read it with my meter..... and it read exactly like how a transistor will read.....base common to both emitter and collector.
please i need information on this componet....thanks guys.
