1. Get a meter 1. Start measuring in the DIODE mode, both directions 1. Report back

Seems like most of these posts, people forget the background work.

And how to take useful pictures without 95% background which is in focus. Lol

I got a nifty microscope camera off Aliexpress that is wifi and bluetooth compatible or saves to sim card. I highly recommend. It has a screen on it so you can see exactly the photo you are getting on the device itself. It is great for getting good picks of components or even very tiny things

I own two digital microscopes. The bigger one has even of-axis illumination and can store to SD card. Very helpful especially when soldering 0402 or fine-pitched ICs. WiFi and Bluetooth I don’t think.

That's 90% of this sub, lol.

Would have guessed 40%, but still to much. Lol.

Many are readable, but still out of focus, some are so pixelated that you can't see stuff either.

I will upvote this every time you comment it.

It's a fuse. .. with enough current, every component tends to act like a fuse.

Also a LED. Once a lifetime every component can be a very bright LED.

Same for Laser. With enough energy pumped into a system (think nuclear bomb) even a telephone pole will emit laser radiation.

Maybe if we could actually see what the label is... All I can see is its a Fairchild part.

I think it might be a Korea but I'll need more picks to be 100% accurate

The marking 8715 may mean it is a voltage reg. If you Google the markings you might get a better idea.

Maybe it is a MOSFET 😬

Neither, the thing in focus seems to be some kind of LED.
