I may be able to help. My PS 160 charger is busted too working only
every once in a while and I took it apart. Don't know much about
electronics but everything in mine looks okay. The bands on the
resistor closest to the LED is from top to bottom Gray-Red-Gold-Gold.
This appears to be slightly larger than the resistor next to it. If
you want I can send you a closeup macro picture of the board. Private
mail me at wangchili@att.net and I'll attach pic.
