    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.

                      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...

                      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?

                      Fault source of a short circuit
                      by rumpumpel1
                      I have a mainboard with a short circuit (approx. 0 Ohm) on the 3.3V rail. As usual, I injected current and observed the mainboard with the thermal camera. Instead of individual components becoming warm, I observed that an area of several square centimeters became evenly warm from approx. 2A.
                      Has anyone ever seen anything like this? Is it possible that there is a short circuit between two layers of the mainboard? The visual inspection of the mainboard did not reveal any abnormalities....
