You can spot a shorted ceramic capacitor, you don’t need to inject power on the shorted power rail

That's pretty amazing. I've been in the industry for 45 years, and I've never seen anybody troubleshoot a shorted SMT capacitor just by visual means. Troubleshooting these capacitors are almost impossible when you have multiple ones all in parallel with each other, so this is a great way to help isolate a defective capacitor. I am looking forward to trying out this technique at work tonight. Thanks for the video and teaching this old dog a new trick.

lol just lol I know this video is 2 years old but it deserves a bump . It’s hilarious. Not a clue what it’s about but it’s hilarious. All I see is a £4 multimeter and PCB if only I’d of known all them years ago I didn’t need all this equipment I’d of saved a fortune

[tletechcher]

You are a master of your craft. Thank you for sharing it to us.
I hope I get it right. To spot a defective capacitor, you need to see any discoloration on the capacitor, and it is slightly bloated.

You never did tell us what you looked for to identify it as being bad. It's good that you are able to back up your talk, but it would be nice if you told us what it is that you saw in that resistor that made you think it was bad. thanks.

[ronniepirtlejr]

I have learned to not care what other negative people say or think.
Just let your work speak for itself!

[laptopDoctorKZN]

Aye bra. U know what you talking about. Don't worry about ppl who don't know.
You know your stuff

[ronaldoquintos]

One way I find shorted capacitor is by injecting a little voltage into the short and see which capacitor changes temperature. Do not inject voltage higher than 2 volts for risk of damaging IC. You need to make a device with variable current because not enough current and the voltage will just be bogged down by the shorted capacitor

[jobertgutierrez]

I believe you have to replace it with another one or other resistor will be damage too day by day

[Duracellmumus]

Please tell me it is an known mechanical issue with this board? Because the crack line on the capacitor is gets orianted to an mounting hole?!

[awaitingthetrumpetcall]

I'm a hobbyist. I like your methods. You gave me an idea. I don't have a microscope but it just occurred to me as I was watching your video that I could take a photo of the PCB with my smartphone and pinch the photo to see the details. I subscribed.

[johnwilliamson]

Great video, often the simple things that make the wise foolish. Great work.

[davidlingaard]

Ha ha ha, i like the way you laughing and showed us the steps and the good results, thanks for the video

[ghislainriou]

Next time tell them go to school. Good video tutorial for beginners who trying to learn something in life, keep up the good work
Could you make a video where when you find a bad ceramic SMD capacitor on the pcb then you need to replace it with a new one with the correct rating capacitance.

[lhantutorial]

how to know if i have the correct capacitor to replace

[aphleesegurtra]

He's right about the psychology. but not all situations will this be applicable... certainly this will find its use in some situations.

[vilv]

Wow it works without capacitor.. Thts wht i understand when i watch this video.. Because the video missing about replacing.. So now i can go around just pluck out... Capacitor

[johnwilliamson]

I'm really surprised by the lack of subscribers. Very brilliant.

[Maveric]

Hi there. Thanks for the video. Could you provide me a link to the microscope you use please. Thanking you kindly

[izzzzzz]

How do you know what value to replace with when there are no makings? Choose y colour and size? Use flux and or a small soldering iron and they will come out easier.

[vbinamati]

Chill bro! Don't worry about what people say... Really you do good work and continue it, that's all
