wtf is this weird component? solved, thermistor.
coppercone2:
I am trying to fix something (DSA) and it has this inside of it. I cannot recognize it.
It does not look like a battery that I know of

I cannot find the designator for it, the batteries are BT. this does not seem to have a BT nearby
Looks a little like a coin cell but not really.
Alex Eisenhut:
A tortured piezo buzzer maybe?
coppercone2:
hmm. it reminds me of a MOV for some reason but its position makes no sense
coppercone2:
the in circuit resistance is 8 ohms.
so that does sound like an audio thing ?
why is it trashed, the rest of the circuit is pristine, save for some crusty dip sockets
T3sl4co1l:
What's it wired to, AC power maybe? Could be an NTC. 8 ohms might be healthy. See if it drops when heated.
Haven't seen an uncoated one since... vintage TV sets maybe, I think? Or maybe that all burned off somehow, yeech.
