What is he doing or testing??

12-23-2011, 12:15 AM

Can someone tell me what this guy is achieving by testing the Northbridge??? He's reading Ohms right?????

What would the be diagnosis and Rx for this? Granted that the NB controls for important functions such as RAM, HD recognition, and battery, right?

That looks like a Mastech MY-61 as per

If yes, it looks like he is measuring the resistance of SMD ceramic cap possibly to see if it is shorted or not?

Yeah, that's what I'm guessing here.

I don't see how a multimeter would be of any use in testing the NB. The BGA array is underneath all that, not on top...

He is probably not doing shit other than making the multimeter display some numbers in a cool looking fashion for the purposes of generating a stock photo.

I found this video when looking for something else but this is how to use a phone charger for testing LED light bulbs

by sam_sam_sam

Here is the website link for this project that I plan on making

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atLERDZx0Q8

But I going to use a different enclosure for this project and make it more professional looking and use safety features that was not used in this video

I have some 24 volt switching power supply from my battery testing machine that I modified for a different switching power supply that is more suited for my new application and new purpose for testing BMS protection boards

If can find one that I can modify the voltage output on I have a...

Some New Preliminary testing of 21700 Tool battery cells to 2.00

by sam_sam_sam

I decided to try a new approach to testing unbalanced battery cells with my battery testing machine that has more graph curve information and it looks like if you discharge them to 2.00 volts if the battery voltage does not come back to over 3.something volts you have some kind of issue with that battery cell

I going to do more testing and see if is the case or not

More to come later

I just bought a SkyRc MC3000 battery testing machine very interesting device temp

by sam_sam_sam

I just bought this device that came in the mail today I put a set of 4 brand new 21700 high current battery on the charger

The charger has four individual temperature sensors for each battery cell
The bar graph for each individual battery cell is very primitive but will give you a good idea of how each battery cell is preforming and I find something odd I put on the individual battery testing machine that gives more details of the charging/discharging curves but it will be quicker to just charge and discharge battery cells that do not have any issues

Or test...

Creating a Testing Jig for TV Repairs -

by KYBOSH

I was watching a YT episode from Nick's TV Repair and he literally had a test jig comprised of all the internal components of a TV on a wooden board.
I thought that was amazingly smart as I always thought that TV repair businesses had a room of various actual TVs they would use to do testing.
My question is how was he able to connect this generic looking external display to the jig? The connectors are intentionally covered up by cardboards so we cant see it but i wonder if its a custom in-house device or something that could be purchased online?

FNIRSI HRM-10 Internal Resistance Detector AC Lead Acid Lithium Battery Tester Review on some testing of device

by sam_sam_sam

https://www.ebay.com/itm/405035016711

I got this device yesterday and did some testing on some tabbing and some incandescent light bulbs and it seems to work very well from what I can tell but how do I know how accurate the m-ohms section is what can I use to verify it accurately I also tested some li-ion battery cells and this seems to be fairly accurate because I have another tester and they seem to agree with each other

I also checked some capacitors with it that were brand new and seem to show about what I expected to see with my blue capacitor tester so I think it...
