Hey all.  

On my 300zx daily driver,  I've had the digital dash burnt out since April.  
Yes, no gauges other than the 2 gallon idiot light for gas,  and no tickets yet 
(knocking on some wood right now).

Well,  i bought a used one last weekend and when comparing the power sources of 
the two,  I realized what the problem was on my original one.  I must have 
broken a thigamabob on the circuit board when fussing with it, and I'd like to 
try and replace it.  Is there any way to determine what the
thigamabob is without a schematic?  Can I just walk into my local radio shack 
and buy something that looks like it?

For Z owners who are familiar with the power source,  it's the little (about 
2-3 cm long) thigamabob immediately to left of the 16 wire dash connectors.  
It's beige with a light blue line around it. There are plenty of them scattered 
around the board.  Could I maybe remove one of the good ones and
test it with a multimeter to determine a match?

I hope there's some electrical engineer with a simple solution to this.  But 
probably not.

Cheers,

Michael
