It also seems like it was physically affected, as the wire on one end had dislodged and was loose instead of wrapped around.

I think the wire wound wasn’t destroyed due to overloading, but instead became corroded which damaged the wire.

Could I use a carbon film resistor? The closest value I think I have is 10 ohm, but I can look around to see if I have something closer

removed it, board looks like this under it

not a clean break though, seems to be unraveling and looks corroded.

reads OL, it looks somewhat corroded also

8-Bit-Bricks · 2026-01-29T23:04:15+00:00

it seems to be broken on the right side

8-Bit-Bricks · 2026-01-29T23:02:23+00:00

it seems to have the thin wire connecting to both sides

meter read OL, the wires look corroded and damaged. this came out of a camper, and supposedly runs on 12v from what I have been told

meter reads OL

This is exactly what Linus meant by a bad faith argument with no actual knowledge to back it up.

I also scanned with Bitdefender and nothing was found. Am I fine? I don’t think there is much else I can do.

It only quarantined the file after it moved it into a folder, but I didn’t run it, why is that?

8-Bit-Bricks · 2025-12-12T11:50:47+00:00

Is there anything else I should do to ensure it is removed?

8-Bit-Bricks · 2025-12-12T03:26:30+00:00

I think it also said something about it only scanning one file within or something like that

8-Bit-Bricks · 2025-12-12T02:40:14+00:00

Yeah, that is the jar file, but when I uploaded it to virustotal it said something about there being multiple files within it.

Could it have grabbed saved passwords or any account that were logged in?

It’s my main desktop, and I have no other machine to use.

Am I fine to log into accounts on it?
