    Simple Question 4nf 400nf

    This might be a stupid question but I can't find an answer online. I have a multimeter that test's caps (Craftsman 82175), it's got two ranges for cap test's 4nf or 400nf. I don't what that is in Uf.

    I need to know what 4nf is in UF and what 400nf is in uf? I assume 400nf would test the larger 1000UF caps? What ranges of UF caps can I test in those two NF's?

    Re: Simple Question 4nf 400nf

    4nf= .004uf

    400nf= .4uf

    Therefore, you can test caps up to 0.4uf. No, you won't be able to test a 1000uf cap.

      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....

      HP Pavilion 15-eh Board DAG7HAMB8F0 - CPU throttling to 0.4GHz (PROCHOT_EXT) and black screen
      by m1ch43lzm
      Hi, this is my personal laptop, which the original board (lets call it Board A) blew up PU8700 (TPS51486), making a hole on the board, i had left the laptop at my desk one day with the battery fully charged and didn't touch it for a week, but when i tried to turn it on it didn't
      Thought the battery was dead, so i plugged in the charger then tried to power on, the power LED blinked once, charged LED still orange, unplugged the charger, plugged in again and I noticed the "magic smoke" smell, so i unplugged the charger, removed the back cover and saw the blown IC (the "magic...

      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...

      Yamaha 2064 No sound but Test audio working
      by hemant_2222
      Hello Guys,

      Greetings!

      Hope you all are doing well.

      I am looking for suggestion on Yamaha 2064. The problem with this receiver is that it has no sound however when the test tones are activated it does outputs from all the speakers. It is working in two channel stereo mode but when you select other sound modes, it doesn't. The last time it had a problem, I had replaced the DAC
      PCM1681DBQR - IC263 and it worked fine.

      Other issue with it is one of the STK ICs is getting more heated then the other one but that can be looked at later.
