    Ceramic capacitors half short circuit or full short circuit?

    Hello
    two small ceramic capacitors with values 040. Can you tell me
    whether they are half short circuit or full short circuit?

    Thank you

      Ceramic capacitors should not have any resistance.

              Yes, unless in the circuit or on the board there are some resistors or other components in parallel, if in doubt, unsolder them and check them on the board.

                      Dell Optiplex 3060 Micro USFF (IPCFL-CG Motherboard) - No LED / Short Circuit
                      by thinkcentre
                      Hello,

                      this is my first post at Badcaps and in general i am new to fixing electronics. I am looking forward to learn a bit more about diagnosing and repairing :-)

                      What I have around is a DELL OPTIPLEX 3060 Micro (USFF), which is not powering on, even not showing any signs of life (No amber / white LED).
                      I got a original 65W DELL PSU / Power brick (PA-12 / 074VT4) which hopefull should be the correct one. I could get another DELL PSU with the Partnumber 0G6J41 with the same 4.9mm DC Jack connector as the one I already have, but I dont think that would help (maybe...

                      HP Probook 640 G5 Short circuit on the 19 volt line
                      by Rofix
                      Hi everyone, I wanted to ask you for some advice
                      on this board: HP ProBook 640 G5
                      6050A3028601-MB-A01(A1)
                      I have a short circuit on the 19-volt line.
                      I initially found and replaced this faulty MOSFET, Q60C10.
                      Then, when I powered up the board, I had the same problem. The MOSFET failed and is giving me a short circuit.
                      I wanted to ask if it's possible to try to find the faulty component by injecting current, and at what point, so I can check the damaged component with a thermal imaging camera.
                      Thanks everyone for the advice.

                      9th Gen Dell Optiplex Micro PC motherboard repair: Short Circuit?
                      by Geeker007
                      Hi All, I have a 9th Gen Dell Optiplex micro PC motherboard which doesn't power on. When I connect the motherboard with power adapter, it goes into safe mode and turns off. So from info I have gathered online, it looks like there is a short circuit on the motherboard. So can you guys help me with figuring out the issue?

                      I am new to electronics repair, so my queries could be naive but I am ready to learn.

                      So I have a multimeter and a solder with me. But I can try to get a variable voltage power supply with a thermal camera as well. From what I seen online, best way is...

                      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.

                      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...
