Re: Short finder

Two things, the PCB layout is missing and kripton believes there's something wrong with the schematic.

So I think in the other thread people were discussing how to fix it. Also discussion of...

Re: New tool to find short capacitors on motherboards : shorty with display

I read through the thread and found this post by krypton. Sounds like he added a voltage regulator and constant current source to the pnp transistor. I believe he later said he removed the...

Re: New tool to find short capacitors on motherboards : shorty with display

I checked the datasheets, and didn't see anything that would indicate less performance or accuracy at 3v3 vs 5v. Maybe I'm missing it?

I'm asking because it would be really nice to sub out a pi...

Re: New tool to find short capacitors on motherboards : shorty with display

And sub in some chinese regulator to make BOM for a 3 usd board, there's your voltage sag. Can't say I'm surprised. I almost never use the on board power to run peripherals.

We could easily...

From the other thread, here's megaraider's 2c.

Re: New tool to find short capacitors on motherboards : shorty with display

That doesn't sound insurmountable. Couldn't we slap a linear regulator on there and get the current required?

Re: peavey xr1212

Peavey is a great company when it comes to providing schematics, etc. They will also sell parts if they have them, and they have had some parts to some very old amps I have repaired.

Re: 2DIN Android Radio YD7388 amp short in one output

My guess would have been the Y7388 AMP IC also. If you find something else that is damaging the Y7388 and you need to replace it again, there is a better chip that is pin compatible that you might...

Re: BEST BST-863 vs Atten 863D

I thought it was a nice touch that it came with a holder that you could point down and reflow chips, but the bottom is solid, so that's not going to work.

The cord looks short, the handle looks...

Yeah, I was considering that, but was concerned that if I did so, it might just die completely. :)

Re: Desoldering station/gun above ZD-915/474A++ ?

Maybe stretching the spring works if you clean it more often than I do. There's usually a solder ball lodged way up in the narrow part of the spring. It's a pain.

Anyone want to wager a guess...

Re: New tool to find short capacitors on motherboards : shorty with display

I have done some i2c work lately, and if I can't communicate with the chip, the first thing I do is scan for addresses, not to really check for the address, but to verify communication and wiring.

Re: New tool to find short capacitors on motherboards : shorty with display

If there's a question of addresses, there are sketches included in the arduino gui where you can flash a program to the arduino and scan the i2c or spi bus for addresses.
