    Great Fluke Test Leads-adjustable insulators

    I have been using these test leads for over a year, and I really like them. They have adjustable insulating shrouds around the probe tips, to help prevent inadvertent shorting of conductors when taking measurements. Take a look! They only cost a few dollars more than standard test leads.

      My workplace uses these for the (more) dangerous stuff. They are great, but confusing for the people who have never seen them e.g. the engineering department. "Why have you broken this probe off!?" "Try twisting it..." "Oh... Oh OK."

          The "TwistGuard" concept it is very smart, even so I am unable to trust it, no one knows how those leads behave in dusty environments.

              Just watch out for potential fakes?

                  I purchase mine from a Fluke authorized distributor, that I have used for 25 years. I believe his to be genuine Fluke. Thanks for the heads-up on the knock-offs though!

                      How Can I test PWM DM0365R?
                      by chth96
                      Hello
                      I have power adaptor(220V/input, 12V 1.2A/output) which has symptom of fluctuating output DC voltage between 11.5V-12.2V.
                      So I opened its plastic case and when switched it on, I heard constant tik tik sound from inside its PCB.
                      I measured DC voltage between negative and positive pin of the largest capacitor(400v 10uf) and it was measured contant 300V.
                      I also measured ESR value of all capacitors and I noticed that one of capacitor(KMG 16v 470uf), which located in the secondary side, have high ESR value(10 ohm),So I replaced it with same specification NXH capacitor....

                      test active pfc power with lamp test
                      by khelane
                      Hello
                      I have a big problem and that is that in some cases when repairing active pfc power supplies I cannot work with a test lamp. I can only get help with 5 volts standby and for starting and starting I have to work without a lamp and this way there is a possibility of parts exploding and other parts being added.
                      Sometimes with a multimeter test the problems can be reduced to some extent, but I had several cases that had to be tested on and online and recently two varistors exploded. They had terrible resistance because the power supplies were over 800 watts.
                      Is there a way...

                      Mats / mods: detected and repaired GPU fault. Cant seem to test after!
                      by chronic519
                      Hello.

                      GPU came in, green lines. Spent lots of time using to get the Mats / mods drive working (found on youtube).
                      Found issue with a RAM block
                      Replaced, green lines gone.
                      Trying to test again, assuming getting the false positive. Originally had over 1K on a single bank. Now getting tosses low between banks.
                      Used a good card to test and same results low errors 32+.

                      I am just search for some form of command to do a full test on the GPU.
                      I just ran the mats command with my good GPU and passed after roughly 40 min.
                      The repaired one, ran...

                      Lg TCon test pins for screen test
                      by alltvrepairs
                      Hi,
                      i have a 65 Panasonic TX-65HX710E using vestel 17MB170 main and Lg tcon.

                      Few drops of water fell probably near COF and have no display. Tried removing tabs but no.part of display present as if tcon fuse open. However 12v is present and tcon can be felt warm enough that supplies are present. Backlight and sound ok.

                      Anyone knows if this TCon 6870c-0805A has any special test pins for rgb test?

                      Appreciate your help....

                      Help with trying to fix phone that is not charging (Pics inside)
                      by SluggerB
                      I have two TCL A30 phones.

                      Old Phone: This phone worked fine for years, then stopped charging If you plugged a charger into it, the phone would make the charging sound, the phone would tell you it is charging, but the battery icon would not have the charging symbol in it and the battery would not charge.I tried new battery, same behavior.

                      New Phone: Works fine, bought as a donor board to try and repair Old Phone

                      My interest here is to repair Old Phone, using components parts off New Phone if needed. I am not interested in replacing Old Phone with New Phone....
