Hi all ,

I have found a bad resistor on a main PCB ,

Can anyone help point me in direction of what type i need to purchase , i was thinking 4k ohms 5% but not sure







any help would be great

Thanks
digsys:
The marking shows L1 .. that denotes an Inductor, not a resistor. Write down the colour codes and check google. If you get stuck, someone will assist.
chemelec:
Probably 4 mhy.
tteknulp:
Ok, an inductor, I have checked colours seem 4mh,
Where would the best place to get a replacement, could anyone provide a link, want to be sure it's correct one, I have got from radionics in the past.

See the following comment by  EBASTLER. He states clearly what I managed to mumble.
I suggest that you stop, FULL STOP right now.
You mis-identified this part as a resistor. Simple and understandable mistake. 
Then you measured for resistance. But it isn't a resistor.  The reading most likely showed that the resistor was burnt out, shorted. You need to go back and measure inductance, but (like resistance) that can only be done while it is not in the circuit.
Do not assume anything here.
