Probably a dumb question, but I can't figure out this resistor value:
black red grey silver gold (and some red on the cap)
There's a black bar in the first location, which is apparently something that never happens, and yet there it is. There's a red cap on other end. I'm guessing that the black band is just filling space and the red is something unrelated. Does that make it 5.18 ohms?

Actually, it is damaged (the other side is burned). I tried to measure the resistance, but I'm getting nothing. A friend wanted me to replace on a circuit board based on the off-chance that it was the source of the problem.

Defanitly not a dumb question, it sure does looks confusing.
Did you find other similar resistors like this? May be the band got printed by mistake. I think it is a 5 band resistor and not a 6 band resistor. That red colour should have been printed by mistake. But anyway the way to go from here is to use a multimeter to check the value of the resistor it sure wont be accuracte but should give us an idea from where we can calculate the value. I am assuming the resistor is not burnt or damaged
