|    component identification please    |

      I have searched google but cant identify these two components.              I think they are Diodes. they look like Diodes, Black with two conductors at       either end.              1 Says D1, only this. It has a two symbols on it that are printed at one end       that are repeated around the circumference of the component that is mayb 1/8       of and inch thick. It is two solid triangles repeated around the end.              E.G. /\ \/ /\ \/ etc.              When I put my volt meter on it, assuming that it is a diode and setting my       meter to Diode test I get nothing. There are about 4 of them. So I doubt they       are all blown if at all. There is no result no matter which way I put the       polarity.              The Second component also looks like a diode. It is also in the row that has       the above components in them.              It has sort of a chevron around one end. Repeated in circumference. E.G.       <==< <==< . The only identifying mark apears to be the number 22 on it.              I tried testing this also but no luck on diode setting.              Any ideas.              Perhaps if they are diodes the meter does not have enough to get it moving       forward. I believe many diodes use about .6 v. before working. I assume that       is what the meter is putting out?              Thank you.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
