Where do you get these replacement parts from - not directly from Sonos I understand.
…by the way I am looking for a new motherboard for a Sonos Play1 unit.
On a Play 1 r524 and r525 are blown. What are these.and how do I get replacements
Same here. r524 and r525 look blown. Have you been able to identify their values? Did you find any further damage? Have you been able to repair it?
The parts has 1R00 printed on them. 1R= 1 Ohm resistor. You can open an old electronic gadget or look at an old PC-motherboard and see if you find one there. It’s normally hard find surface mounted resistors in local stores…
