Yeah cracked cap. I would have injected 1v and look what’s going hot before pulling schematics if I had missed the cap.

Nice video. The coil concerned is to filter the ripple created by the buck regulator getting out rather than filtering noise coming in.

but the ripple is produced on the output inductor right?
@cmizapper6 ай бұрын
@@winlose3073 The ripple is produced by the switching on the output inductor, but the currents comes from the input obviously. You don’t want that ripple to feed back into the input.

@@cmizapper I'm sorry but I don't quite fully uderstand your point here because EM waves do not carry current, they're just oscillating waves and they produce current when they encounter a conductive material so the case is still to me that they have nothing to do with the input current because that current is dc current!!!

Done watching, thank you very much for the informative repair video. I have learned significantly more troubleshooting & repair lessons in this tutorial video and to your other repair videos as well compared to my ENTIRE 4 YEARS OF COLLEGE due to the rotten & outdated standards of education here in the Philippines. I hope you will soon have a mini-series for Schematic & Boardview-free Voltage/Power Rail Tracing[12V/18-20V Main Voltage Rail, 5V, 3.3V, CPU/GPU Core Voltage Rail, DRAM Voltage Rail, IGPU Voltage Rail, System Agent/Northbridge Voltage Rail, PCH Voltage Rail, BIOS Voltage Rail, Battery Power Rail], Proper method of testing/checking of potentially faulty MOSFETs & ICs/Controller Chips, CPU/GPU/PCH Reballing and BIOS Bin File Editing.

In this case just check with an oscilloscope in and out of the inductor of the 3.3v working regulator .. just to see if there is some "stabilization of voltage involved"

Manufacturers use these inductors as cheap fuses. Replace them with 0.1mm (not just blob) wire and don't think too much about them.

Are computers similar to automotive where one part fails causing other daisy chain parts over work leading to a future of failing?
@Adamant_IT6 ай бұрын
Yes absolutely... You don't see much of it on my channel, I mostly showcase lower-level board repair, but there's failure modes where a regulator can fail and lead to a bunch of stuff on that power rail all getting zapped as well. LFC#364 was an autopsy of a dead PCH where all the secondary rails were shorted together.

@Adamant_IT6 ай бұрын
I'm moving away from the LFC tags simply because not all videos are repair videos, and then like... do those get numbered? Do I still put them in the LFC numbers even if they're not an LFC? I'm switching to contiguous numbers to make thing simple!

Tip for the tip - use fine diamond file (cheap - commonly sold for fingernails) to sharpen the probe tips, gives them the o-scope probe tip "bite". In my experience most "gold" probe tips are plain brass all the way through, no need to care for an outer coating being damaged. (can't tell about expensive probes that might actually be gold plated)

Maybe consider to buy a new multimeter instead of the slow reacting Vici . Thanks for the Nice video’s !
@Adamant_IT6 ай бұрын
Where possible, I like to use cheap accessible tools to show that you don't have to have mega expensive equipment to do this. Using a cheap multimeter is a big part of this, as it's something anyone can easily get for $20 and do basic probing to figure out what they're dealing with, and also see how the meter is likely to respond - including when it's slow or seemingly a bit random.

Yea there was a flub in there somewhere, in the recording I looked up the other one and it was a massive regulator output inductor and I was like 'uuuuh that's not what I'm looking for'. In the edit I trimmed to the correct one to cut time.
