    I always refer to your vids when I want to verify testing components. Like the tip in this video covering SMD caps associated with chips. TY for the vids!

    How do you determine the capacitance of a tiny but very tine micro-capacitor that you accidently knocked off that needs rewelding?

      I also would like to know. I messed up my alarm clock soldering project not knowing which SMD ceramic capacitor I was using.

    Phew. That saves me removing all of the caps around the chip just to put them all back again.

    How can we determine what capacitor we need? I have a motherbpard with 2 missjng capacitors. Most likely a class 2 ceramic capacitor, but how do i determine the right value?

      I realized that the only methods that work is either look for the specified motherboard schematics (if they exist), buying a new motherboard; measure values [of the capacitor desoldered off of the pcb board] in relation with purchasing a SMD/SMT kit to replace missing or broken capacitors and/or resistors only after measuring from a working motherboard [these kits give you a lot of chances as important as a working motherboard] or buying a donor motherboard for parts.
      Note: You can only measure the capacitance of the capacitors only when they are by themselves, desoldered or away from the pcb board. You MUST use an SMD Tester instrument tool that is used to make measuring the SMD components a lot easier than using your conventional multimeter, and please make sure to measure them in a place appropriate for this action. *Don't put too much grip on the capacitor, otherwise it will fling away. *Measure them in an appropriate area where the SMD capacitors are not prone to come off the table and fall onto the floor (especially if the floor is carpet) which would be lost, so you need to shield your borders of the table. Moreover, you may need to close openings anywhere (from the closet doors or curtains).

      yes this is a real head scratcher. Recently had a laptop motherboard where one of these blow up literally melted. So i had to test the ones around it to see what the resistance is. If they are all the same size and in the same area all I can assume is that they would be a similar reading fingers crossed ey?

    I've got an issue with the board in my stock head unit in my car. Everything works but the speaker outputs. I get power, satellite radio,am and fm, usb and inputs all seem to function I just get no sound from them. I do have sound when the car alerts me to whatever (seat belt, emergency braking system etc). Schematic sheet is only available to the car service industry of course. I've done trial and error for all the speakers and have decided it's definitely something on the board. I even plugged a headunit from a different car same make, different model and year in and I had sound working fine. I'm assuming it's one of the ceramic capacitors for the speaker outputs but I'm unsure what if anything else to test before I go replacing things and possibly screw up my headunit even more. I've been trying to find some useful information for weeks and yours is the closest thing I've found yet, so thank you! Could you help me? I'm not very knowledgeable so I apologize but I'm always open to learning. I can provide pictures of the board that doesn't have an issue if that will help. I can remove the one that isn't working just take a little time.

      i been resding comment to. see if someone also noticed,
      the channel said its ok but then he also. said if the cap gaves very low resding its bad but then got a rrading for 2 caps with very low resistamce but then he said they're ok,
      what the heck,
      so everything is ok no matter what??

      Apparently they are color coded, they don’t include any numbers. The best way to know the uf is to find a schematic on the item you are working on.

    • @izzzzzz6
      @izzzzzz6 Год назад +1

      use size and colour, try to find same size on a donor board. If you have the correct capacitor tester you could test a good one in the bad circuit and order same value. Otherwise try to match same size etc.
