Did you take this measurement in-circuit?the one nearby which looks the same is measured as 185uf with transistor tester
Yes.Did you take this measurement in-circuit?
While it is sometimes possible to get valid readings on components in-circuit, that's the exception, not the norm.Yes.
I used transistor tester TC-1.What test equipment do you have?
Does powering the board to troubleshoot cause problems? Can the power source tolerate a short on it's output?I used transistor tester TC-1.
The board constantly reboots when powered. Power source can tolerate a short.Does powering the board to troubleshoot cause problems? Can the power source tolerate a short on it's output?
Yes, I do.Do you have a soldering iron and are you competent enough to remove the cap you suspect is shorted without causing more damage?
If you have a DVM with enough resolution, you can look for the lowest voltage on the power rail.The board constantly reboots when powered. Power source can tolerate a short.
Thank you so much!f you have a DVM with enough resolution, you can look for the lowest voltage on the power rail.
If you have a current tracer like the HP547A, you can look for the highest current on the net.
If you don't have the proper equipment, you can remove the cap you suspect is shorted.
