Any of y'all know what's going on with this resistor? Brown black gold gold black is a bit unusual. From what I've found I'm pretty sure it's a 1 ohm resistor (±5%), but I'm unsure about that last black band. From what I've found, it's either the temp. coefficient, the reliability, or it's telling me it's a wirewound resistor. Given this is a generic 5V power supply, I *think* it's the last one, but can anyone confirm?

@auravulpes Do you have a multitester to confirm the stripes handy?

@auravulpes Hmmm... this translator doesn't seem to be helpful:

digikey.com/en/resources/conve

This suggests reading the stripes from right to left, after comparing the image you posted to the one here:

Which, plugging the values back into that converter suggests that it's a 44 ohm resistor @ 1% tolerance.
