      Re: esr meters

      I bought my ESR meter from Maplin they have stores all over UK
      its a Peak Atlas esr60, they can be upgraded to the newer version for a price by the manufacturer, it reads Capacitance as well
      a good Digital multi meter is priority, but its best others recommend what one, good ones come at a cost

                              Beginner question. Did I find a short?? HP dax31mb1aa0 REV A motherboard
                              by Mess

                              Hi beginner here, so I'm not sure of I've done this right 😅 trying to diagnose my laptop's motherboard (dax31mb1aa0 rev a). I don't quite know how to read the schematic, so I'm attaching the pictures of the motherboard and the measurements.

                              I was attempting to measure resistance to GND on inductors. I disconnected motherboard and used "continuity testing" setting on my multimeter. I put black probe to Ground & red probe on an inductor. Did I measure this right? Am I correct to think that 0.3 ohm measurement indicates a short circuit? Thank you for your help!...

                              Where do repair shops buy MB replacement batteries?
                              by howardc64
                              Order my parts from mobilesentrix.com and iPhone batteries have been excellent. Recently got 3x bad A1534 (2015) batteries. All would work until ~30-40+% and drop to < 10% instantly. Typical sign of cheap batteries.

                              Perhaps the less popular A1534 model's aftermarket batteries are more source limited. Just find it surprising quality from mobilesentrix (usually fairly high quality aftermarket parts) have been so poor.

                              BTW, this isn't the only defective parts I've had from mobilesentrix. Amongst others including iPad Air touch screen and A1989 touch bar (display was...

                              MacBook Pro A2338 liquid damage repair for a beginner?
                              by dbuergi
                              Hi all,

                              i have a A2338 with water damage on the logic board. Cleaning it showed some heavier corrosion around U7000 and surrounding caps. Some are totally broke.
                              I get 5,2v when using both USB-C Ports but until now i didn't make any more tests.
                              Since i'm a beginner i want to know next possible steps. I'm not afraid replacing the intersil 9240hi but the other parts with 1mm or 2mm scare me and i don't know where to get replacements.
                              I fixed other laptops but this ist my first apple device ....

                              HP RTX 3060 with bad cap (beginner project)
                              by Bladiblad
                              I have an interesting project here. I have a HP RTX 3060 12GB VRAM GPU with a shortcircuit between a (what I believe is) a coil and a cap. The short circuit is so bad that it will trigger a failsafe on the PSU.

                              I'm a beginner in this field and have managed to do only very simple board repairs so far. I have basic understanding of the components (mosfets, caps, nand chips) but completely diagnosing a board with schematics would be challenging. In this case though, I'm going to hope that replacing only the two shorted components will bring the card back to life (if none of the IC's...

                              Beginner Tutorial for using RCUnlocker to remove BIOS password?
                              by CanukTuk
                              Hello,
                              Kinda new to this, so hoping you will all give me a bit of a pass.
                              I came to this forum because need to remove the BIOS password on an HP EliteBook 850 G1.
                              I understand that I need to dumpt the BIOS to a dump file, process the dump file with RCUnlocker, then write the modified BIN file back to tthe BIOS chip.
                              Is there a beginner guide anywhere that describes the entire process for doing this?
                              I am reallly in the dark regarding which tool or tools are required to extract the BIOS dump file, then write the modified BIN back to the BIOS chip. The guides I have...
