Identifying diodes?
i have solar charger (batteryminder brand) adopted use arduino project.
despite claims, thing not weather resistant & board lasted short time. well; of components lasted short time. rust not our friend.
10 resistors & 2 diodes rusted thru @ 1 end. resistors easy identify (except 1 2x thick rest); 2 diodes standard 14n148 type diodes (one bit bigger). not provide me support or schematics; on own fix it.
there couple other diodes on board looked healthy , similar sizes; unsoldered them test them transistor/component tester. 1 tested out diode uf=789 , ir=4na; other tested uf=704, ir=10ua -- note able test 1st 1 repeatidly , got similar results; 2nd 1 fails diode , sub 1.5 ohm in 1 direction , .6ohm other... (so have 3 diodes need identify).
is there way know / guess diode work w/o schematic? markings can't see w/o proper magnification? iow: there way can replace these diodes ?
my camera has dead batteries, i'll go buy if pictures help...
thanks

hi,
do diodes have markings?? use magnifier. physically smaller or larger?
the 2 diodes have silicon (forward voltage .7 v).
