it's like zenner diode :D

Ok, i need to make working this disk for max 30 minutes, just the time for transfer my C++ and Java projects.

For you it's a good idea if i bypass it with a wire?

Sicuro di aver letto e capito? (per la domanda...)
Are you sure you read and understood? (because of last question...)

Ho capito si ma al contrario... Devo rimuoverlo dato che la funzione e di scarico dalla sovratensione, in teoria e in pratica non succede nulla anche se lo faccio andare per un pò senza,,
Se lo bypassavo mi esplodeva in faccia tutta la pcb :D

My english is every new day little worse :)

I understood the opposite... I must remove it because it's function is discharge any overcurrent, in theory and in practice it can work for a while without it.
Thanks
