    Lesson 2 :

    1 means Infinity... Look at a DMM the same way as decimals... 1 being a whole and anything under it as points of a whole.

    So... for example if testing a resistor - Lets say infinity is 1000ohms which will show as 1 - you test the resistor and it shows 474ohm on the DMM screen, the resistor is only letting 526ohms of that 1000ohms back through to the DMM... The DMM figures it has sent 1000 and lost 526 in circuit so 1000 - 526 = 474. If you were to test and it showed 0 it would be letting 1000ohms through as it isn't restricting anything which is a short circuit S/C. If it were to read 1 then its letting 0 of those ohms through and therefore open circuit O/C.

    Hope that makes sense.

    Also Open and closed (short)... Imagine it is a gate in a garden... when closed power can run through the hinge and across the gate and through the latch on the other side. When open the power hits the latch but has no where to go.

        I would teach you how to test them but do not have the time at the moment I am afraid, will pop back later

          i would as well but i am still a novice at this electronics game i find good guides on testing devices via google and you tube videos. if i then are still unsure i ask a question on here on how to test the part some one will always help us out its a great site in my opinion.

            Many thanks to both of you for your help and advice, it's been really interesting so far

            I'll take a look at that kit and then see if I can identify where those components are on the board. I may need to come back to you to ask how to test them but there really is no rush. Chances are I won't have an opportunity to look at it again for a couple of days as my Mrs will have other plans for what I do with my spare time this weekend

              No problem.

              As the fuse had blown and Tom had stated its a common failure you will probably find that his previous post on which ones to test are bang on.... Tom66 is a true Badcaps Veteran and certainly knows his stuff!

                Vizio e601i-A3 - Has Sound and Display, But No Backlight - Bad Power Supply Board or Bad LED Bulbs ?
                by Tynan Dill
                I was given this TV from my great uncle. He said it just wouldn't turn on one day out of nowhere, replaced the TV, and gave it to me to possibly fix and use for myself.

                Upon bringing it home and plugging it up, it showed a standby light.

                I powered it on and without a flashlight, the display showed the "V" but the lighting is very dim, but visible.

                The screen seems to blackout and stay black, but with a flashlight I can see the display.

                With my Playstation 4 connected via HDMI, and running a game I can hear sound.

                Assuming...

                Microsoft Surface Pro (5th gen) model 1796 - no power
                by PantherDave
                Hi all!

                I'm trying to troubleshoot a Microsoft Surface Pro (5th gen) model 1796 that won't power on. Motherboard model is M1007506-015. My priority is retrieving data, but the SSD is integrated so it looks like if I can't repair it it'll need to go to a data recovery company. I've done a little basic board repair before, but nothing this advanced until now. So please forgive my ignorance in advance. 😅

                I found the boardview for this laptop in the forums here, and am able to open it on my PC with FlexBV.

                Asus Probook P5440UF-XB74 power issue
                by GLISIT
                Hi all,

                TL;DR - this laptop is driving me nuts with the oddball power-related behaviors. Appreciate any insight you can provide!


                I'm experiencing a power issue on an Asus Probook P5440UF-XB74. Although I've worked with electronics and computers for decades, this is my first attempt at getting into motherboard-level component troubleshooting. Any help the community can provide is greatly appreciated!

                A few weeks ago I was using the laptop (on battery power) for a Zoom meeting. The battery was running very low (long meeting) but I wasn't worried about...

                Carver CM-1090 - Power relay clicking on & off, then fuse blown after 20-30 seconds of power cycling.
                by beetle1303
                I gotten a Carver CM-1090 amplifier from a friend who has kept it in storage for decades. Opened it up, thick layer of dust cumulated everywhere. Vacuumed it semi-cleaned, and blown off as much as possible the remaining dust. This is a 220V version.

                On initial powered up with nothing connected - it works with all the lights and button indicator lit up as pressed, etc. I then powered off, connected a CD player into the CD RCA input and powered it on. It seemed to work for a short while and when I turned the volume up and down to see the the VUs works, the power started to clicked off...

                Desoldering gun station modified to use a 18 volt @ 20 amp switching power supply
                by sam_sam_sam
                I have wanting to do this project for quite sometime now and I finally found a switching power supply that will work on this desoldering gun station ZD-915 that the original switching power supply took a shit and just was not worth trying to fix it because this switching power is not quite big enough to handle the heater element and the vacuum pump

                One note when I tested the switching power supply and the voltage control board I noticed that this desoldering gun heat up much faster than the original switching power supply which I was really surprised by to the point that I might buy...
