LED Tester - Single and LED strips can be tested as well as zener diodes too
This tester is very cool. I'll show you how I tested a single LED and a LED strip. It has a one milli-amp setting that I was able to test the voltage of a zener diode too. I really that I can do that! There are several brands that can do this.

    How do you test a really big electroletic capacitor? Say, 3600 micro Farad @ 65V?

    • @anounceofbrilliance
      @anounceofbrilliance 11 днів тому

      The ESR70 Gold can measure capacitance as high as 90,000 micro farads. When using these meters always discharge the voltage in the capacitor to protect the meter and for your own safety. Some mains capacitors have a rating of 400 volts.

    What interface would I use to read from a W25R256JVEQ? I'm trying to fix my laptop :/ That one is the only 32MB chip I could find. I'm not even sure that is the BIOS chip but every other chip I found was 256K - 2MB.

    • @anounceofbrilliance
      @anounceofbrilliance 27 днів тому

      The spec sheet shows this as a 266 Mbit 3v chip. I can only tell you what I would do.. I would really make sure there is an issue with the BIOS. Typically the BIOS needs to be customized, which is NOT an easy process. In my opinion reflashing the BIOS should be a last resort.

    Regardless of which one anyone decides to get, always check the programming software with virustotal to ensure there is no malware in it. XGecu programming software always shows malware. The newest version 12.67 shows three red flags from vendor scanners, but sandboxing tests are showing even other concerning behavours such as the application searching for outlook file locations. I would be careful until it is confirmed these are false positives.

      @caralynx 4 місяці тому

      FWIW CH341a is merely an interface bridge, so if you can write software to interface with it, you can support whatever you like. The most common programming software for it is open source, so if you need something special you can update it yourself. When you're buying a programmer, try to find the list of supported chips and see if what you want to use it on is supported.

    • @anounceofbrilliance
      @anounceofbrilliance Рік тому

      The unit I have in this video is a TL866-G3. The software shows the AT89C52 chip and the ACE93C66 (both x8 and x16 versions). So It appears it programs these versions. It did NOT show the MC68711 in the list. The non DIP version would require an adapter. The unit I bought did have some of these adapters included.

    Bios aside, I want to point out that the TL866 programmers (and the successors ...) also have the ability to test a bunch of IC's for proper function. If you work with older machines (retro stuff) you will appreciate that functionality once you get to discovering that feature. It might not do as many as the purpose built Retro Pro Chip tester but still useful to have.

    If you inject a voltage at a point at the circuit which normally is at the same voltage or higher (preferably inject at the output of a voltage regulator circuit) than the injected voltage you shouldn't damage components. Use a current limited supply and start low and work up. Only work on the board you think has the short. Remove expensive components like the CPU if socketed and you are worried about damaging with the injected voltage. Use a Paraffin candle to detect heat - less dangerous than alcohol and wont evaporate like alcohol at room temp. There are a lot of these milli-Ohm measuring devices about but most people find themselves chasing their tail with them at some point. I am not saying don't use them as every tool in your armoury is worth having at some point but I would say to anyone - lower your expectations. If you have no or little experience in fault finding it will probably be next to useless.

    Great explanation. My old Weller Expert died and have been struggling to find a replacement iron that I like as much. The one you show second from the right is nice and I have found a decent controller for it. But, as you rightly say, you need the power (W) to prevent rapid cooling on large planes. Thanks.

    • @anounceofbrilliance
      @anounceofbrilliance Рік тому

      I used to love Weller. Now my favorite is the one on the right side. It is the one that uses the T12 tips. They really heat up quickly and seem to hold the temp when soldering a connection that sinks the heat. The one I use is YIHUA 948DB+ II which I got on Amazon.

    That was so, so informative. 400C and 60% air flow rate.... I don't think adding solder necessarily lowers the melting point, but rather clears the oxidation and therefore will need less heat to melt the underlying solder. Nice, very nice indeed. 👍👍
