P stands for Power. D stands for data, S for signal. Wherever the component references start with a P - like PR03 or PF01, it most probable refers to a power resistor or fuse.

the best teacher for Computer Technician and electrical engineering.

I am a field engineer who works on IR, Thermal-conductivity, and Thermogravimetric analyzers with resistance furnaces, electrode furnaces, induction furnaces, etc. I encounter pcb issues all the time, but I wasn’t formally trained as an electrical engineer. These are quite helpful. Thank you.

Best instructables on YT for a beginner! Cheers mate so happy to have found your channel!

I'm slow reacting. I just discovered this section... This first lesson I see is sublime, which makes me admire you even more. I promise to see them all. Thank you very much young Graham for your effort, your dedication and mainly for your time and sharing your knowledge with us (repair audio car stereos / video TV). Sincerely grateful. A fraternal embrace from Mexico.

Great, I fix a fair few pcb boards, I thought I would watch this video to see what's going on, well I learned two great tests, just shows 30 years on you don't know everything, ever day is a school day, your a natural teacher with no nonsense, great job thank you 😀 if your learning electronics then stay with this guy, you will learn more in one video than you would in 12 months at college trust me, he is a one off guy who can explain without pulling your hair out, top job 👍

My first ever repair tutorials.i can't thank you enough man

Excellent video series, you are the first that you explain the fault's and the solutions so simply!!! Thanks!!!

He is a rare find , so good no hype-thumbnails.

Really good video for generalised theory and learning. It helps to build up knowledge in layers. Very interesting.

Thanks, being an electrician,who done a TV maintenance course and a Computer repair course (some 15 to 20 years ago) it great to learn a lot more about computers. Keep up the fine work.

Very good job on your explanation and the video graphic of the circuit pathways explaining how to trace a circuit. In fact you are doing a excellent job on your other videos. I find your logic to be right on. Cheers from BC!

I have a Lenovo that don`t turn on, i found it some bad fuses and remove them, but are the resistors near those removed fuses who are getting very hot....there is still a short?

Thank you very much for your dedication for teaching in such a very good, simple and structured way, I learned a lot

Amazing! First video from you and i automatically subscribed.

Awesome instructions. I was able to learn a lot from this video. At 5:50 you started talking about letters describing the fuses, capacitors, etc. I'd like to add that P before F, C and what not means "pico", which in turn means something very small.

This is also a great video I havev watched so many times, the base for a proper diagnose procedure

The best channel for beginners.

Really appreciate your videos! Ive been able to learn A lot from your content!

Excellent way of making understand about mother board. short n sweet Demonstration with excellent clarity in voice. thanks for such a nice video.

He is one of the best channel for hardware repair. And damn to do it without schematic is master level

very informative and I really enjoy your channel

Sincere thanks for sharing your very practical knowledge.

I just watched this whole video without falling asleep or maybe I’m just a tech geek for this stuff.

Hi there , it was one of your perfect and informative tutorial video, especially you typed with red color on the screen .It was very simple and understandable. kindly upload more like this video repair without schematics for beginners.thnx

Thank you very much for your video, you explain perfectly for someone who lacks knowledge in electronics. Greetings from Mexico City

Great Video, you have inspired me to go back to my Samsung laptop that has a short to grd on the 19v rail! Thanks

I love your Chanel. I am happy I found your channel. You make a beginner understand board repair easily. Please give more update sir. Thanks so much

Thank you for helping me boost my electronics knowledge.

best channel ever for beginners

Great work! Very good explained. Thanks a lot.

That's an excellent job my friend 9.8/10

This video is just ridiculous! No way you can be more didactic than this. Incredibly well done job with the analysis on the other video and with the explanation here, including the editing by the way.

repair without a schematic! Thank you sooooooo much!!!

Super helpful video. Thank you sharing all education videos… you are best teacher…

Very informative video, 12min of full information

Top video! I would like more videos like this!

Sir, your videos are very helpful and informative

Another great video keep em coming

great video, thank you! can I ask whether say a 17R inductor can be deliberately shorted to ground and not be indication of an issue? I'm trying to fix a motherboard of a Samsung smart TV and I have 4 of these inductors in total on the board (all measure 2-3 Ohms) and 2 of them are shorted and so are several C components around them. Thanks

Love this video! Thank you so much and I have learned from this video and can fix without schematic

Excellent video sir. Do you only repair PC's or any type of board, out of anything? I have a main power PCB out of a vintage Robot that needs repair and no schematics. Might you be able to take a look? Where is your shop? What do you charge for your repairs? Would really like to have it fixed.

Hi there, your tutorial video was very useful and informative. Keep it up. Thnx

Thanks for making these videos and sharing Your knowledge. Best regards

Excellent video!

best video for reaper !!!! thanks for sharing

Amazing video series. Wanted to ask, is the knowledge here 'transferable' to fixing phone motherboards?

Glad I ran across your channel. Just started learning electronics and repair. I’m currently figuring out how serious static charge is. I see many video including your where people aren’t grounded or at least I can’t see that they are. Do I really need a grounding strap?

best IT teacher.

Does the signal injection also apply in through hole electronic components? if not, do you know a video or link that uses this technique in through hole components on a PCB?

I was looking for such theory.. Keep the macro way..thanks

WOWWWWWW!!!! What an amazing channel!

great video !!

@Adamant IT Just subscribed to your brilliant channel! Could you share your thoughts on whether repairing boards is a good way to learn and understand PCB design?

Hope you get to post some faults that are more to do with signalling faults rather than power supply shorts. Its harder to know if its a chipset, sio chip or other chip error even if a schematic is referred to. You explain well. Thanx.

Very informative. Thanks!!

This is amazing content pitched at a perfect level for someone who wants to do practical repairs without a huge amount of theory. Does this kind of analysis and fault finding translate to fault finding in, for example, a modern washing machine's main board? I'm dismayed by the fact that if something goes on the blink nowadays it just gets chucked out because supposedly it's cheaper to buy a new one. I have an old iPod lying around that I can't sync to anymore, my brother threw a TV out that had sound but no picture, I recently replaced an LED spotlight that was probably less than two years old because the LED driver failed but the LED die was still fine. It all seems incredibly wasteful. I'd love to see you fault finding in SMPS, linear power supplies, LED drivers, etc. A lot of the content you can find on this stuff is either way too specific (it's only useful to that specific item with that specific fault) and doesn't really cover what can go wrong in a more general sense and how to find it. Either that, or there's way too much theory and they only explain how the thing works but not how to diagnose and repair faults. Anyway, brilliant content, cheers!

Fantastic series , thanks , are desktop motherboards similar to diagnose ?

very good work.

very clear and understandable. thanks

After seeing this I really helpful with this video

thank you Adam!

What a teacher unbelievable! 👍

Yes very Good at getting a point across you would make a Good mentor

Hi, I like the way you diagnose motherboard. But do you have any idea, what could be the problem wherein the charger is not recognized, but the charger is working fine? Also, it's not charging for dell laptops.

where would I get that magnifier/light you are using and what is it called.

Hello I am curious, how did you know that this is an Inductor opposed to resistor ?

Your the great teacher for me.😊😊😊😊

How long does it roughly take to diagnose mobo fault and what equipment does one need.

Not always fault happen due to short circuit. Once repaired a laptop where friend's daughter poured a cup of lemon tea with milk over keyboard by accident. Laptop didn't switched on anymore. Sometimes it managed to display BIOS screen and then fell back to darkness. Cleaned a lot of milk gunk from motherboard, then found missing +5V in all motherboard. After thorough search under microscope found two tiny traces with corroded resistor between them. Turned out it was a part of main +5V gate which didn't switched on when resistor was disconnected. Found that it was 200 kOm SMD resistor, replaced it and laptop went back to life. It still works just fine. Interesting that keyboard survived and works still at today without sticky keys.

this is just the type of information needed to work on things like huge John Deere farm equipment, tesla cars, and a world of other computer things. 😎 thanks. 🤩

Hey, what if you don't have any schematic and no labeling on the Board? How can I find the point of power IN and OUT of a board if there is no power connection on it?

very clear, thanks!!

Amazing 😍 thanks again ❤️❤️

Please sir, do you have videos on other electronics?

so I have a p52 , and I decided to give it a go after following your seeries I found the issue . I know what chip I need to replace . I contacted the maker of the chip and no response . Can you maybe help me out with a lik to where you buy your chips and stuff

Are servo amplifier circuit board more complicated than pc motherboard?

you should be teaching kids how to do this, fantastic vidoes

What is meant by the term live boot ok concerning a laptop advertisement?

Nice Job

Thanks for the information, it is helpful. 👍

.. God bless sir .. always watching take care 😇🤗

Would you ever try repairing a PS4 or switch mb with this method? As the little pieces are a bit more available to buy than any laptop

Well explained, thanks. So glad that Macbook stuff has "come our way" though :) plus Macbook repair is where the money is

Hey man, got an interogstion, working on a ideapad 3 15, I resoled the short on the board (1 capacitor, and 1 burnt mosfet) but now the laptop only blink white at power Led(non-stop) and cpu heating very fast, not able to find any other short Cpu issue🤔😅

Hi Adamant can you help me through video call repair my laptop with no backlight?

Where can I get schematics? I am trying to fix a landline phone which won’t power on and I can’t find any of the traces so I have no idea where is goes after the batteries.

I've one PCBA in hand. Whenever I tried to power up the fuse is always blew. Could you help me to figure out the problem ?

Only led burns, no post. I measure 3.3v at input ‘ON’ button with respect to ground. When I push the ‘ON’ button the voltage drops to zero. Does that mean my 3,3v circuit after ‘ON’ button is shorted?

How do i know the model of the capacitor to change it. I have a bad capacitor that needed to be replace but don't know the type

Question: if I have to replace a ROM if all the information matches the top do they have to be reprogrammed?

hello is there any chance you can switch the video board repair basics #10 from private to public? if so id really appreciate a lot.

Hello sir nice work ,please do you have any videos on how to trace a dead phone .thanks

thank you so much!

ok my friend but that is only in case some capacitor is damaged, on the other hand we have endless failures related to resistors or signals that enter or leave the south bridge, pch, super io etc etc, greeting from Saltillo Mexico

Would you be interested in a private job for high quantity of Satalite boxes?

a question: if you have to replace a capacitor, without schematic, how do you know the value required?

please upload more like this video ( Diagnosing without schematics) for beginner

Thanks for dis video very informative.... I an HP probook 645 G1 that comes on when I plug in d charger or battery but d screen is black and d fan is on with full speed plz can u help me out

Very informative
