I dont have one, so no idea. One advise though-Invest in 30V or higher dc supply with 10Amps.That'll help in detecting short in SOC mb where you cant go up then 1V.

Thats it-your dc supply is 5A. Invest in 10Amps dc supply so that u can inject more current to find short specially on SOC architecture.

thank you again...i always choose 1 volt and 2 amp trying to find hot component..maybe 3v for 3/5 valwys whith 2 amp...but many times i can t find any hot component that s why i m decided to buy a themal cam ....unless you have a better thechnique for finding hot component !
