Out of a lightning-cooked USR Courier "v.Everything" modem - Nifty flash
of blue light, sound like a .22 rifle going off, modem dead, 3 seconds
later, I heard the thunder from the strike. <sigh> Thunder needs to
preceed the hit to give fair warning, dangit!!!
Anyway, it looks as though the hit came in on the phone line, since
there appears to be an arc-mark from one of the phone input contacts to
a trace that heads for ground through a string of four fried "332"
resistors (they're wired in series, terminating at the main power
ground), and a diode, marked "P5D69", where the "P" looks *ALMOST* as if
it's a subscript label, the "5D" is the main marking, and the "69" is
rotated 90 degrees to the "5D" - sorta like so, as best I can do with
plain text:
5D 6
p 9
Although the "P" isn't *QUITE* that low, and each digit of the "69" is
rotated 90 degrees, forming a two-digit number whose length total length
is the same as the height of the "5D"
Anybody able to tell me anything about this diode? What "flavor" it is,
a possible substitute (SM or thru-hole - I'm more than willing to sub a
thru-hole version if I can find one that's electrically compatible) or
anything else about the beast that would help me with my attempt to
bring this unit back to life?
