    How to find smd badcap onboard ? (Tool, method)

    Hello, if 5 capacitors are in parallel, and one of them is shorted, how to find the shorted one without disolder anything ? And except courant injection.
    It's seems not possible but maybe there is trick or tool working ?

    Ultra low resistance meter ? Maybe with heat ? If cap is shorted, it become conductor, so conductor of heat too. And maybe a heating element at a side of cap and thermalmeter at other side and mesure time for reach a valor ?

    So have you seen or tested such tool or method pls ?

        no, esr-100 is for capacitors testing off-board.
        not for finding shorts

          Guide to transplant MEC1503 EC chip and EEPROM reprogamming for T14s gen 2 and X13 gen 2
          by acedogblast
          This is a guide that I am writing for helping others to replace their MEC1503 EC chip if it breaks (or to get around an inconvenient prompt to the BIOS). This forum has been extremely helpful to me so I would like to contribute to help others. I will tell you right now that this task is very difficult to do. You MUST have experience and tools to do precision micro-soldering, BGA reballing, trace repair, and general laptop repair skills.

          There are some specialty tools needed to do this task. The replacement MEC1503 chips can be acquired from Aliexpress. Do not buy the bare chips as...

          Where to find a very small fpc connector 0.3mm between 2 pins ?
          by corrize
          Hello, I search this connector (oxydated).
          It's a fpc zif low profile connector. It come from camera sensor, it is very small : 0.3mm between 2 pins.
          I ordered 2 from Aliexpress called « 0.3mm pitch » but one was 0.5mm between 2 pins and the other 0.6mm. In fact « 0.3mm pitch » seams to be the pad width and not the distance between 2 pins.
          I can't find it. The other websites like mouser dont show the datasheet, and I can't check if it is 0.3mm between 2 pins ?


          Do you know how to find this connector please ? What is the exact name for find it ?

          ​...
