Re: Dell 4700 circuit breaker

I found a similar looking plastic holder on a Dimension 8400 parts board I had around.

It's labeled on the board as 32.768Khz. Of course, your component may or may not be the same. It may be a different component in the same plastic holder. But it's certainly worth checking the board for any markings that may hint as to its value.

I've attached pictures of the component both in and out of the plastic holder. Note the value of the component is silkscreened on the board.

Guys, you're right on. Had to get out my glass but there it was right on the board. Where the review I read came up with all this circuit breaker stuff I can't imagine. Now if I can find a replacement_

Thanks to all you guys who gave it a shot; truly it's appreciated.

Right again, kc8adu. Just started going through some old boards and found 3 in two minutes_without the plastic, of course.
