I heard you mention in one of your previous videos that you used to be a software engineer. I find it very interesting that you did that, since even though both jobs require excellent troubleshooting and problem solving skills they are still quite different. Could you make a video about your previous career as a software developer and transition to electronics repair engineer? I think many people (myself included) will be very interested in it.

What I've learned so far: 1. Get a thermal camera 2. Plug the thing in 3. Identify the hottest component 4. Unplug the thing 5. Remove the hottest component 6. Plug in again and inspect 7. If the thing is not working go to step 3 8. Unplug the thing, send to client 9. Profit!!!

Great video. I used to work at a place called Haven Lighting where part of what I did was to troubleshoot failed circuit boards. On some of the larger ceramic caps (0805, 1206), I could tell that the short circuit on the board was located in the cap if it appeared to be cracked, even just a little.

@Xgamer121X 3 года назад

Amazing video and good diagnosis. How would you find a replacement capacitor without seeing any printed information on the old capacitor?

@m4th1js 2 года назад

Lot of times it will work fine without the capacitor, because most of the caps around an ic are bypass capacitors to suppress noise. When there is no noise, they do not do anything. When it is a big cap, it will suppress low frequency noise, when it is a small cap, it suppresses high frequency noise. Normally you will see big caps on the start of the power lines on the board, and small caps as close to the ic's as possible. It is not needed to exactly match the value if you want to replace it. Lots of times the same are used on a board around the different ic's, so you can just measure another one to get an idea of the value. In this case it is not needed to replace it because he can get the data off it without it.

@ChristopherJones16 2 года назад

@@m4th1js when you say noise do you mean actual sound noise or noise like fluctuations in power draw and that the cap is there to collect it and dispatch a steady amount?

There must be some very valuable data on that drive to send it in for recovery. It also makes me realize SMART statistics (usually unavailable on USB drives) will not warn you about unmonitored component failures like that shorted capacitor.

@reckz420 Год назад

Can you explain what was the role of that capacitor in the overall functioning of the USB drive, since after removing the cap, the USB started working normally.

@VariaGaming 3 года назад

Hi can you explain how you check the short on the cap is it with a multimeter and can you explain in more detail? thanks for all the great videos.

@xxycom8963 3 года назад

The multimeter continuity setting (i.e. the setting where it beeps, if the two probes are touched) makes the measurement with DC. A good capacitor behaves like an open circuit to DC, so when you put the multimeter probes at the two ends, it will not beep. But if the capacitor is shorted the meter will beep. By the way Hussain, a good job as always 🙂

@DavidWilson-vo5rl 3 года назад

He checks continuity across the capacitor. That bleep from the multimeter means its shorting (closed circuit). Alternatively, you can check if there is resistance across it and if there is, that's the same as a short.

It is probably a decoupling capacitor and they tend to have a standard value. But you could find the chip manual and find out what the manufacturer recommends.

If the nand chip has burn marks and signs that some pins are basically reflowed because of how hot it gets (and no caps seem to be shorting) does this mean its likely unrepairable?

@thejunouyang 3 года назад

Why didn't you replace the cap? These bypass cap could be important to filter out inrush currents when you plug in to the port.

@davidsilvera7436 3 года назад

@pr0xZen 3 года назад

The plungers with your flux. Are they just floating, or do they attach to the syringe piston? The reason I ask is because with big syringes, residual pressure from compression of the piston can cause very substantial oozing. If the plunger doesn't latch onto the piston, there's no way to relieve that pressure by pulling back on the plunger.

@NorthridgeFix 3 года назад

The plunger is attached snug. It's not detached or loose. No oozing.
