    Is this ESR meter any good?

    I've been looking at getting myself one: http://www.peakelec.co.uk/acatalog/jz_esr60.html

    I like that it can measure capacitance at the same time, although that's usually not that critical.

      I have not used one but own several other Peak meters which over the years have been very useful and totally reliable.
      "Measuring capacitance at the same time" is slightly misleading as you have to remove the component from the circuit.
      When you buy one make sure it's an updated version which takes reading 'one handed' older units required you to use two hands to apply the probes and another to press 'test'.

        HannStar Hanns-G HC194d LCD monitor repair
        by momaka
        Normally, I never post repairs this quick after I do them, because… I am usually very slow. But today, I’m making an exception here. Why? No idea. Perhaps only because the repair details are still “fresh” in my head… which is ironic, given this is a 16 year old monitor that hardly anyone will care about today. It is new to me, though. I picked it up last November from someone on my local Craigslist. It wasn’t very close to where I live, but was close to a family friend that I had to go visit anyways. So after watching the posting on Craigslist for a few weeks and seeing it getting...

        Modification of a Fluke multi meter that uses three AA batteries to use a 14500 lithium ion battery
        by sam_sam_sam
        I have had with regular AA batteries that leak this meter is expensive new I already replaced the battery battery clips once and the same thing happened again and I am tried of so it is getting modified to accommodate lithium ion batteries that are the same size excluding the positive terminal and removing the battery clips I will have enough room for the BMS protection board

        I going to put 3 lithium ion battery in parallel with the BMS protection board and a way to charge the battery externally and heat shrink the battery pack and use a JST connector so I easily remove the battery...

        A1706 2017 critical update
        by iMuhtaseb
        this board suffered from a bad trackpad and bad keyboard after liquid damage; board was turning on no issues..
        we've replaced the bad trackpad and bad keyboard no issues whatsoever.. during 2nd final checkup we booted to an external macOS and there started the critical update issue; it boots externally but to the internal SSD it shows critical update; tried Wi-Fi tried Ethernet tried Hotspot same thing..
        One weird symptom is it takes too long to power on and show the Apple logo for some reason..

        I've taken a look into the MLB and noticed tiny liquid around Q3100.. its...

        Samsung UN60EH6000F Black Screen, Backlight and Sound Good. Power Cycle Returns Picture
        by Mgiffune
        I have a 60 inch Samsung UN60EH6000F flatscreen TV. The screen went black a few months ago Sound is good, backlight is good, no menu. I replaced the TCon board with a used board purchased from Ebay. It worked fine for a 3-4 months, then the screen started ‘fading' back. Once again, sound is good, backlight is good, no menu. However, this time the picture looks fine for about 10-15 minutes, then fades back. If I power cycle the TV, the display reappears, for another 10-15 minutes, then fades black again. Repeatable ever time.

        I ordered a supposedly ‘new' Tcon board this time, and
