Re: the best way to find short circuit?

if i keep the probes lead as short as possible? yeah i think the probes wire resistance become a trouble. but it seems like the owner of design measuring SMT caps easily..

Help me find the short circuit on this WORKING Nvidia GTX1650

by aaronkatrini

Hi all,

Recently picked up this GTX1650 at a local flea market for a low price and wanted to use it on my secondary PC. I first tested the card and saw the fan spin for a split second and then nothing. Immediately I thought of a short circuit. Disassembled and found a shorted SMD capacitor, injected voltage into it (1V/4A) and two Mosfets got hot immediately (QN3103 & QN3107). Desoldered these Mosfets and the card turned back to life.

Bought replacements from Aliexpress and replaced them afterwards. Tried the card but still the saw the fan spin for a split second...

Nintendo Switch lite charging chip heats up and does not short circuit

by fab13

Hello everyone

Small technical problem on a Nintendo Switch lite
Here's what I noticed: the USB port has been damaged internally, with a short circuit on the power supply line to the small fuse.

After replacing the USB connector, the short circuit went away and I can't see any other short circuit in the whole motherboard.

When I charge the console, it seems to be charging: I get 15 volts and an amperage of 0.450 A.

Then, after a while, the amperage increases to 1.1 A and the BQ24193 charging chip starts to heat up, as evidenced...

Short Circuit tester

by Tarot Superstars

Hello.
I have seen a short circuit tester made with 3 * 9V batteries, a voltage limiter component and a resistor connected to the probes of a multimeter.
The theory is that the meter becomes sensitive enough to read very low resistances and the lowest resistance to ground on a circuit is likely to be a short circuit in that area.

MSI B250 Gaming M3 Short circuit in CPU power supply circuit

by M1NEBLANK SHOW

Hello. MSI B250 Gaming M3 board, short-circuit on the power supply. Found a problematic mosfet VQ1
(N-PK616BA_PDFN8-HF) soldered it out - short circuit is gone. I replaced VQ1 + VQ5 (N-PK632BA_PDFN8-HF). VQ1 was replaced with PK618. After starting attempt VQ1 is lit again. What can be the problem? In the driver?

ATX PSU SL-500 Short circuit can't find where? Transformer?

by smile

Hello,

I got ATX PSU SL-500 PSU. Images Attached.
It has blown VIPER22A, that I replaced.
Connected trough light bulb the bulb glows very bright indicating a short.

I tested every component on hot side of PCB and can't find the short circuit.
However the problem goes away removing +5VSB transformer.

The winding in questions of +5VSB transormer shows 0.08Ohms, is this normal?...
