I think there is nothing surprising. People close to software are also close to hardware (most of the time)

I agree. It deserves a lot more views. I may have to change the title. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q7qgoMWE1sqapaM.html

Those who are meant to see it, will see it. It appeals to those who watch your vids for the philosophy and repair as opposed to those who just watch for repair. Although, something like "9 important lessons in Business" might draw more attention!

@@NorthridgeFix I watched it too and I was flabbergasted.

I also agree. I learned a lot. I also work on a retail IT supplies and everyday customers were different just like he said. Also selling laptops and pcs are psychological. Great video.

@@dankan4459 I watch NorthridgeFix for inspiration.

are you talking about louis rossmann

Thanks Brother

@@NorthridgeFix Thank you my brother. - Ari

You passed the quiz

Haha

Big bro please tell me how to i clear my doubts by you please give me feedback 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

It is probably a decoupling capacitor.

Have the same question

Decoupling

I was wondering that too, but I guess because he is transferring the data to a new thumb drive, he didn't need to replace the cap. Just need the drive to be working to get the files off it.

Thanks Brother

It is probably a decoupling capacitor and they tend to have a standard value. But you could find the chip manual and find out what the manufacturer recommends.

Lot of times it will work fine without the capacitor, because most of the caps around an ic are bypass capacitors to suppress noise. When there is no noise, they do not do anything. When it is a big cap, it will suppress low frequency noise, when it is a small cap, it suppresses high frequency noise. Normally you will see big caps on the start of the power lines on the board, and small caps as close to the ic's as possible. It is not needed to exactly match the value if you want to replace it. Lots of times the same are used on a board around the different ic's, so you can just measure another one to get an idea of the value. In this case it is not needed to replace it because he can get the data off it without it.

@@m4th1js when you say noise do you mean actual sound noise or noise like fluctuations in power draw and that the cap is there to collect it and dispatch a steady amount?

@@ChristopherJones16 Noise like fluctuations in power. English is not my first language, so it can be that i could have better used another word to describe it.

The multimeter continuity setting (i.e. the setting where it beeps, if the two probes are touched) makes the measurement with DC. A good capacitor behaves like an open circuit to DC, so when you put the multimeter probes at the two ends, it will not beep. But if the capacitor is shorted the meter will beep. By the way Hussain, a good job as always 🙂

He checks continuity across the capacitor. That bleep from the multimeter means its shorting (closed circuit). Alternatively, you can check if there is resistance across it and if there is, that's the same as a short.

Thanks everyone for your help much appreciated

@@xxycom8963 is that what he means by diode mode?

The plunger is attached snug. It's not detached or loose. No oozing.

The capacitor is there to stabilise the voltage and keep noise down. In 99.9 % of cases it will work without. It's just good practice to have it.

@@zaprodk thank you for the reply !

No need to replace the caps. you need a donor board or schematic

It's a bypass capacitor. Not needed to get files.

@@NorthridgeFix thank you for the reply!

You can give them a call and they'll gladly let you know.

I'm curious too
