That presents an age old argument in education. Should students be made to just wander around and "discover" or should there be guidance? Since statistically, there are far more ways to do something wrong than there are to do it right, most educators I have known believe there needs to be guidance with some exploration based thereon.let say it`s for the learning purposes...Forget about the money...![]()
You are being given guidance, not answers. For example, your test results on the mosfet do not prove it to be faulty. Source to drain conduction is expected. Drain to source conduction could be something else. Now, if you don't mind destroying the board and remove the mosfet, you can test it in isolation. But, once you damage the board, then your hopes of repairing it for education go out the window.
