    Help needed to test FS38N20D MOSFET

    I am not 100% sure how to test these...anyone can help me please?

    I tried Diode test mode to see if continuity between S-D and S-G then reverse

    I think I am suppose to have coontinuity only between S-D and S-G, am I right?

      If you look at the spec sheet of the MOSFET you will see that it has body diode between Source and Drain. The Gate is isolated from Source and from Drain by the Oxide layer.
      So did you look up the spec sheet?

          How do you test MOSFET in laptops ?
          by Jane
          I tried to use this method:

          Testing an N-channel MOSFET:

          Step 1: Discharge the Gate (turn off the MOSFET)
          Place the black probe (COM) on the Source (S) and the red probe on the Drain (D). The multimeter should show no continuity (high resistance or "OL" – open line).
          Then, touch the black probe to the Source (S) and the red probe to the Gate (G). This discharges any stored charge in the Gate, turning the MOSFET off.

          Step 2: Charge the Gate (turn on the MOSFET)
          Now, place the red probe on the Gate (G) and the black probe on the          ...

          How To Test a P-channel Trench Mosfet Using A Multimeter In Diode Mode
          by dj8452000
          I am new to electronics and I'm understanding most of what I'm reading but I have a mosfet on my board that I've identified as a P-channel Trench Mosfet. I haven't a clue how to test this and what I should expect to see with the multimeter probes. I am hoping someone with years more experience than myself can help me understand how to use a multimeter to read this. Please look at the drawing I have attached to this and can you try to explain to me what I should be doing with my multimeter in diode mode and what results I should expect from a good mosfet?...

          Test circuit for curiosity : 2 x NE555 (astable + PWM) + n-mosfet + var 10k + pc fan
          by bendeg
          Hi reader,

          I'm trying to control a pc fan speed by giving PWM to the gate of a n-mosfet.

          1) generation of a clock with a 555 timer (~ 1,5 kHz, as seen in the datasheet, fig.12) (Vcc = 6V).
          Output to TRIG of second timer (pin 2) + red led

          2) generation of a PWM with a second 555 timer (as seen in the datasheet, fig.18), CONT (pin 5) modulated by a variable 10k resistor (Vcc)

          3) Using output of second timer to "pulse" n-mosfet gate (MDP13N50) + yellow led

          4) pc fan (12V, 0.18A) in series in drain-source of...

          VGA MOSfet permanently shorted and loss of MOSfet pad
          by Nooy
          Hello everyone, I recently found this badcaps site and super Learn Electronics Repair youtube channel. And I wanted to learn how to troubleshoot power supplies and VGA cards and how to practice soldering, since I already have a properly defective piece of them. I am currently trying to solve two problems:

          I have a Gigabyte GV-RX460WF2OC-4GD type card. I managed to find the faulty MOSfet (AON6414A) on it, which I replaced. The card starts up, but after about half a minute, the MOSfet in the same position will be shorted again. Is it possible that the PWM controller driving the MOSfet...

          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....
