Hello everybody. Some years ago, I fried a component of a MD2 board.
It is one of those immediatly next to the AV out; it was signed "222" and it had 3 pins.

Any of you know what's that?

I got another working MD2. I de-soldered the same component (it's in a different package, this MD2 was produced later, 93). I tested it with my ohm-meter. I get 0 ohms on the outer pins, no reading with other combinations.

I don't think it's a transistor or any sort of digital pot. This might not be helpful, but you might check out this page:

I'll crack open my Genesis later on and see if I can suss out the part.

Is it marked EMx (ie. EM1,EM2) on the PCB silkscreening? That's an EMI filter.

Yes, I forgot to mention it: its "name" is EM3.
EMI filter mh
any idea where to get one of those?

It's not important, just use bit of wire.

Fix_Metal

Should I short circuit outer pins or whatever?

viletim

Yes, the two with no resistance between them.

Fix_Metal

it wasn't working; I resolved.....desoldering all useful (or maybe not) parts and trashing the PCB.
I got another perfectly working MD2, who needs the other one  ??? ;D
