Thank you for your input and for clearing some of this up for me....

If I am reading this properly and in diode mode, putting your black probe on Pin 3 Drain and Red Probe on Pin 2 Source you will get nothing. Put your black probe on Pin 2 Source and your red probe on Pin 3 Drain you will get a reading perhaps in the 500 range. If you put your black probe on Pin 1 Gate and your red probe on Pin 2 Source you will show a short the way it looks to me and your beeper will sound on your meter, and vice versa put your red probe on Pin 1 Gate and your Black Probe on Pin 2 Source again you will read a short and your beeper will go off. Is my interpretation of this Mosfet...

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.

Hi Everyone. I am 71 years young and I joined to assist me with my new hobby of LED TV Repairs. I am a licensed electrician for around 50 years.

I have always wanted to get more closely involved with electronics and I decided late last year to dive into this new wonderful world of challenges. There's always...
