Hi All,
This might be completely the wrong place for this, I'm sorry if it's off topic but could anyone advise on this.
Basically, we have a small Christmas ornament that has lots of little colour lights on it, it's only 6inch by 6inch in size.
It had a variable power adaptor that was set at 3 volts and it's worked a charm every year for the last few years but it's been powered on today at 9 volts and the lights went dimmer and dimmer until the went out completely after a couple of hours or so.
I opened it up and it smelt of burning and I think the issue is in the picture, could anyone tell me what it is and if that is likely to be the issue, if so I could potentially get one and solder it in. It's tiny, like 4mm in length.
I could just buy another but the kids love it and there's nothing else I can find the same in the shops
Any help is very much appreciated
