This type of video is perfect for people like me just getting into repairs I would love to see more of this. You explain things so well I really learnt alot from your videos. Big thumbs up from me 🤩
This type of video is perfect for those people who have foolishly removed over a hundred components to find and short, and out of frustration started sniffing flux fumes to forget their mistake. lol
This type of video Phil, is fantastic for people, like myself, who don't fully understand all of the uses of a multimeter and who have an insatiable hunger, like myself lol, to learn. Fantastic video and please please do more on all aspects of multimeter usage. The way you explain things, in plain English, is just great listening. Thank you.
That's right mate, you need a diode mode value schematic to make sense of the values being read, unless you have an identical good board on your bench to compare the values to.
It would be great if you do more videos like these to understand what you are doing in your videos and it’s a good way to learn along the way. Liked this video a lot 🤙🏼
I know many people with qualifications who know very little when it comes to real life situations. Experience is everything, and “qualifies” you in the form of being able to do what’s needed to be done to do a job and see it through to the end…
With all those repairs you have made I consider you a qualified technician. Yes, you may not have the degree or the certification, but you certainly do have the experience. I really like the path you're taking and showing the Simplicity of starting to learn about how to repair equipment please continue.
Wow. Well explained. Thank you! 😃 I bought the same multimeter. Thanks for the link 👍I am a noob with repairs. I started just like you from simple repairs... Dual Sense controllers for PS5.
If you’re open to suggestions, a video like this covering how to use a multimeter or soldering specifically to console repair would be a HUGE help and I’m sure many folks would love to see you do it!
A video that goes into details on bench power supplies and what to look for to provide the best range in support diagnostics and repairs. I am thinking of taking a serious try at repairs and I am not sure if 15v -3 amps would be good enough or if I need a more expensive 30v - 5 amp model.
Thank you so much for this informative video I must say I see your passion in working on consoles I am have the same passion to revive console I love your format of this content. I was wondering can you teach your way of using a heating station to remove chips off of differint boards and temp settings especially thin layered boards
Great video. I'd love more instructional videos with "basics" like that. Especially aimed at fault finding. Can you tell me what kind of probes you have on your multimeter. It seems I can't find any that have such long and small metal probes.
Good shit, phill, technician or not you still learn every day even if you are qualified. I am not as technical as yourself, far from it, but I have fixed a few TV's and stuff, controllers. I am a self-taught diy welder, builder, tv repair lol. I love ya, content mate I have watched a shit load of your videos at home with a broken ankle
Diode mode, is to some of us a 'professional tool' you don't have to be a genius to use it, so hobbies(t) & alike Don't be afraid to try it, use it. Listen/Watch Phil! & other Techs use it and you'll find it will help contribute to the solution. Mistakes will be made but.. your only Human and not a machine. Don't let fails put you off get back on the horse. Phil's Methodology shown in this video' Measurement Objectives, Data Collection Processes, make him clearly stand out 🤓👍🏻
Nice explaining is better you use your old multimeter back or isit a new one. For mosfet testing i prefere resistance mode and als on laptop board coils and current resistor mode also resistance mide. It is more accurate for those repair. Great explaining. Btw did you see the mail already mwith shematic and other great information i sent
I somewhat follow your method here. I've never used Diode mode in this way prior, only across a diode looking for open in one direction and .5 in the other. So if you're looking for a short in diode mode what reading do you expect to see? (My Fluke has diode/continuity/tone combined. Leads shorted together reads 0 with a tone).
Thats a good point, I probably should have mentioned that in the video. Essentially a short will read a very low drop (0.000 or very close) since the leads at that point are essentially connected together sp the voltage drop is zero
So when measuring in diode mode with reverse polarity, the 0.033 is not voltage drop but only potential difference if i'm right. (?) Because current does not flow through capacitors. But then, why does it make sense to measure the capacitor for short with reverse polarity probes (in diode mode)?
A complete mess is a sign of a Highly Intelligent Person !!!! Just look on RUclips on characteristics of Intelligent People !!!! I learnt all about repairing electrical stuff and engines by myself !!!! I learnt enough to fix about 90% of anything that goes wrong !!!! And that has been fantastic for saving money !!!! Also cooking nice meals is a Fantastic Way of saving money. !!!!
Good video Phil, but can you play it and check the sound as seems to be quite lot of white noise it could be my audio but not had it with your other video's and is a little distracting when you try to understand what your trying to say :) As for the noob thing with low independence has anyone done a board view explanation of the ps4 and switch as otherwise would it not be quite hard for people to learn this. and would you get the week phantom beep to let you know on all multi meters ?
Normal resistance of 2700-3900 series are 0.2 - 0.47 ohms... By the way. Just for those who wonder if their quite recent GPU is shorted... Usually that's V-to-ground. And respective ICs. These heat up at 1V 2A.
Thanks mate, I personally don't see myself as one. To me an engineer is a board designer, a technicain is someone who performs technical diagnosis and repairs 😁
No such thing as a stupid question mate, if you know you know, otherwise you need to ask 😉 Most of the time the board will be marked (R=resistor, D=diode, C=capacitor, L=inductor etc) but if the board isn't marked you can usually tell based on what it's connected to or the package design. That usually comes with experience though as you work on more devices, you get used to what components are what. I could potentially make a video explaining how to identify different components 😉
@@TheCod3r video would be awesome! I know through hole components backwards but I stare at a SMD board and wonder were to start. I was looking at a water damaged SMD board and couldn't even follow the power rails or find the fuses 🤯
I've been tricking out my PS5 with a cool black case and led lights for the system and controller lol. Good explanation for diode mode on close to zero in the comments btw.
This type of video is perfect for people like me just getting into repairs I would love to see more of this. You explain things so well I really learnt alot from your videos. Big thumbs up from me 🤩
Thanks buddy, really appreciated 👍
Same
This type of video is perfect for those people who have foolishly removed over a hundred components to find and short, and out of frustration started sniffing flux fumes to forget their mistake. lol
Well done, Phil. Passing on the knowledge helps others in the way you were helped.
Thanks buddy, glad to try and pass on the knowledge
This type of video Phil, is fantastic for people, like myself, who don't fully
understand all of the uses of a multimeter and who have an insatiable hunger, like myself lol,
to learn. Fantastic video and please please do more on all aspects of multimeter usage.
The way you explain things, in plain English, is just great listening. Thank you.
Knowing what mode to select when testing and what to expect from the circuit under test is important, interesting video. Thank You...
That's right mate, you need a diode mode value schematic to make sense of the values being read, unless you have an identical good board on your bench to compare the values to.
So many things to learn and understand I like that you mentioned the people who you got your information from Phil you rock
It would be great if you do more videos like these to understand what you are doing in your videos and it’s a good way to learn along the way. Liked this video a lot 🤙🏼
Thanks dude, I'll definitely try and do more in the future
I know many people with qualifications who know very little when it comes to real life situations. Experience is everything, and “qualifies” you in the form of being able to do what’s needed to be done to do a job and see it through to the end…
Thanks buddy, that's a really good point. A lot of people who do go to college or university never get any real world experience
It's called theoretical PhD with no practical experience. heh
Awesome stream i hope you do more of this kind of content very informative for us amateurs cheers
With all those repairs you have made I consider you a qualified technician. Yes, you may not have the degree or the certification, but you certainly do have the experience.

Thank you, I don't really consider myself qualified, just experienced as you said. Sharing what I learn is my main focus 😁
Wow. Well explained. Thank you! 😃
I bought the same multimeter. Thanks for the link 👍I am a noob with repairs. I started just like you from simple repairs... Dual Sense controllers for PS5.
Awesome mate that's great to hear. Yeah it's a long process but it's very much an exciting and rewarding one
If you’re open to suggestions, a video like this covering how to use a multimeter or soldering specifically to console repair would be a HUGE help and I’m sure many folks would love to see you do it!
There's plenty in his video section
I think there is a playlist for soldering QFNs, HDMI replacements and trace repair
A video that goes into details on bench power supplies and what to look for to provide the best range in support diagnostics and repairs. I am thinking of taking a serious try at repairs and I am not sure if 15v -3 amps would be good enough or if I need a more expensive 30v - 5 amp model.
Great stuff Phil, more of this kind of stuff pls. As a beginner this was very helpful.
Thanks bud, I'll definitely do my best 😁

Some great advice
small topic but in grat details this is amazing
Haha I've been waiting for this since we chatted on discord. Nice one fella
Good video Phil.
More of these videos please Phil :)
Phill your skill is grow up... You become with top 10 Repair mens. People love you.
These videos are amazing, Phil. It would be nice to know how do you inject voltage to find shorts!
Thanks for this! Looking forward to more similar videos.
Hell yea i always wondered and would like to see more videos like this teaching all this
Great video! Learned so much Phil!
Well done, love your videos!! Greeting from Amsterdam
Thx Phil, can you show us a a short in diode mode? On a board with a blown 'cap', 'diode' filter etc...
Very informative video with good explanation..

Which voltage Injector shall I buy for my bedroom to diagnise bad resistors?
I've got a question what's the difference between a non-expensive and a expensive multimeter? is there a difference between them? and is it worth it?
Normal resistance of 2700-3900 series are 0.2 - 0.47 ohms... By the way. Just for those who wonder if their quite recent GPU is shorted...
Usually that's V-to-ground. And respective ICs. These heat up at 1V 2A.
Oh what’s up bro amazing Vid I always wanted to learn this
Thanks mate, hope you're well
thx alot this help very much 🤔
I was working on a switch and trying to figure out how to measure voltage here lol
what size parco microscope did you get and cost
thank
If a multimeter has only diode mode and continuous mode separately, does it work the same?
You ARE an engineer !
Thanks mate, I personally don't see myself as one. To me an engineer is a board designer, a technicain is someone who performs technical diagnosis and repairs 😁
You lost me at the start big man😜
My brain is like a siv🤣
Haha don't worry so is mine, I remember silly things like chip numbers, yet I can't remember my own phone number 😂
@@TheCod3r 🤣
And.. Diode mode for testing tube circits is ESSENTIAL.
Please clean the probe 👍🏻🙏🏻✌🏻✨💖
Whats on the picture in the background
Who is that Cod3r guy?
A legend in the making 🤣
@@TheCod3r In the making? Thought your parents were long finished with that. ;)
Duh question incoming! How do you know on a SMD board what component is which, like a resistor or Capicitor or fuse?? They all look the same!
No such thing as a stupid question mate, if you know you know, otherwise you need to ask 😉
Most of the time the board will be marked (R=resistor, D=diode, C=capacitor, L=inductor etc) but if the board isn't marked you can usually tell based on what it's connected to or the package design.

Nice mate, would love to see what you come up with when it's complete
Soo if something shorted in diode mode it will show 0v drop? Am i right?
Exactly that yeah, or very very close since the leads are basically touching at that point and wouldn't have any drop (unless you had very long leads)
👍👍👍
Only real reason we use diode mode is because it is faster.
Please speak slower and clearer for non native listeners. Thanks.
Use YOUR RUclips settings to slow his speed. Change “Playback Speed” to .75x, then he can speak naturally. 👍
