    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....

          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...

          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....
