Looking to learn about circuit boards so I can test components, debug and repair this one:
The board LED and Hard drive doesn't power on. The hard drive is working in another enclosure. The 12V power supply is good. Power seems to be getting into the receptacle, but maybe not further?
Would like recommendations for basic soldering equipment that would get me started.
Also, a good lamp / magnifier: what magnification power(s) are best, LED? color light options? Not terribly expensive.
Suggestions for a board holding stand.
(Other project uses: Also need to use the magnifier to do detail work on repairing a few torn artist paintings, thread by thread, so the way it mounts and stands is a concern)
I have an Extech MiniTec 24 that has various settings to test circuits and other electronics.
Suggestions welcomed.
Thankyou.
