I have measured resistance both ways, it becomes less of a diode as
I go higher in resistance scale on my DMM, around 20K and up I read
like a piece of 100 ohm resistor both ways but reads fine on diode
mode.

BTW: these are 1N5822. I'm working on a bondwell 486NC2 notebook
seems to have power problem. Even with batteries unplugged, charge
LED lights up same time as power lights up when I plug power brick
in. Sometimes I can get hint of action and just once got computer to
boot up for few seconds then dies.

What gives?
