You never did tell us what you looked for to identify it as being bad. It's good that you are able to back up your talk, but it would be nice if you told us what it is that you saw in that resistor that made you think it was bad. thanks.

[@anthonyselby8337]

you could see that the capacitor was cracked most likely from the heat generated when it shorted

[@juggalo4life12113]

Agreed this is the whole reason I watched your video super annoyed right now

[@dalexplym4882]

I did not see it at first, either -- but if you look closely, there is a small reflection/line across the top, indicating a slight bulge (enlargement) of the case. It is NOT easy to see, but it is there. Strong magnification seems necessary.

[@trevinom69]

@@dalexplym4882 He specifically says you don't need a microscope, I just use my eyes. I can't see jack :(

[@DigitalViscosity]

His accent is strong but he says "People be saying I am lying, but you can see the capacitor is cracked"

[@user-jc8sh5gy2y]

That's pretty amazing. I've been in the industry for 45 years, and I've never seen anybody troubleshoot a shorted SMT capacitor just by visual means. Troubleshooting these capacitors are almost impossible when you have multiple ones all in parallel with each other, so this is a great way to help isolate a defective capacitor. I am looking forward to trying out this technique at work tonight. Thanks for the video and teaching this old dog a new trick.

[@ronniepirtlejr2606]

I have learned to not care what other negative people say or think. Just let your work speak for itself!

[@ronaldoquintos1675]

One way I find shorted capacitor is by injecting a little voltage into the short and see which capacitor changes temperature. Do not inject voltage higher than 2 volts for risk of damaging IC. You need to make a device with variable current because not enough current and the voltage will just be bogged down by the shorted capacitor

[@tletechcher]

You are a master of your craft. Thank you for sharing it to us. I hope I get it right. To spot a defective capacitor, you need to see any discoloration on the capacitor, and it is slightly bloated.

[@Ali19sun]

Very simple ! Great

[@Maveric193]

Hi there. Thanks for the video. Could you provide me a link to the microscope you use please. Thanking you kindly

[@lokgunar]

Very usually brother thanks you a lot 🙏

[@davidlingaard860]

Ha ha ha, i like the way you laughing and showed us the steps and the good results, thanks for the video

[@lhantutorial8992]

how to know if i have the correct capacitor to replace

[@johnwilliamson8367]

Great video, often the simple things that make the wise foolish. Great work.

[@braq331]

Yeah good job 👍

[@izzzzzz6]

How do you know what value to replace with when there are no makings? Choose y colour and size? Use flux and or a small soldering iron and they will come out easier.

[@tvoovm7254]

Either look for schematics for the board, buy a capacitor/resistor set with values as close or equal to the replacement, or buy a donor board.

[@laptopDoctorKZN]

Aye bra. U know what you talking about. Don't worry about ppl who don't know. You know your stuff

[@Hugh_Franklin]

Sharp eye. Nice.

[@francismaina8560]

[@johnwilliamson8367]

I'm really surprised by the lack of subscribers. Very brilliant.

[@awaitingthetrumpetcall4529]

I'm a hobbyist. I like your methods. You gave me an idea. I don't have a microscope but it just occurred to me as I was watching your video that I could take a photo of the PCB with my smartphone and pinch the photo to see the details. I subscribed.

[@mike-bj4dk]

will it run if you have 3 in parralell because i removed all three and now laptop works perfect i may solder in some i have but what happens if you leave them out so far it hasnt effected the laptop

[@juggalo4life12113]

Yes it will run but obviously whatever you took the capacitors out of is not going to work for example a USB port or other sensor capacitors serve a couple purposes on pcbs to change the voltage current to low or high to tell the microcontroller what state it needs to be in or simply to reduce the power to an item because it doesn't need the amount being sent to it to function

[@aphleesegurtra2820]

He's right about the psychology. but not all situations will this be applicable... certainly this will find its use in some situations.

[@vbinamati]

Chill bro! Don't worry about what people say... Really you do good work and continue it, that's all

[@vilv777]

Wow it works without capacitor.. Thts wht i understand when i watch this video.. Because the video missing about replacing.. So now i can go around just pluck out... Capacitor

[@laptopDoctorKZN]

There are 3 caps there they just to filters to smooth the voltage

[@laptopDoctorKZN]

Ich and super io must have must have power. The crystal needs to run because of the super io chip

[@hansregli8678]

You need to understand electronics better. Capacitors are needed to dampen short sharp peaks of power drain on the line, for example by a chip, or by induction from the outside world. For example if you switch on a coffee machine it will send out an electromagnetic wave which can induce voltage into any wire. Capacitors guard against failing the logic in such cases. Without the caps it looks like working perfectly, but it just works statistically over a short time. You can get malfunctions in the long run.

[@endurofan9854]

oh, thank's for the enlightenment bro, i was kinda curious what could go wrong now that it lacks 1 cap on the circuit and what exactly does those tiny caps do

[@delroyshay5870]

Well if look carefully you can see something is not right with the capacitor, so yes there are going to be a very small amount of user(s) that can spot this with naked eye. I think I have a strange skill with a pair of pliers. These strange skill don't come naturally. You just keep doing it over & over, then it becomes natural over time. So at some point he will spot faulty capacitors even quicker & faster than before.. So yes I do believe the OP. Look careful you can see the fault. Not easy to spot, but it' is there. The problem is, will the next shorted capacitor show the same fault or will it look different.

[@MrOner07]

if i want to replace the damaged ceramic capacitor.how do i know the value of the capacitor to replace?

[@mennims]

Search for service manuals, they have parts lists with the codes found on the boards. Otherwise it's not easy to tell. You can also look for schematics which will tell you the value

[@tvoovm7254]

​@@mennimsor buy a donor motherboard.

[@ghislainriou9560]

Next time tell them go to school. Good video tutorial for beginners who trying to learn something in life, keep up the good work brother...blessings....;)..... Could you make a video where when you find a bad ceramic SMD capacitor on the pcb then you need to replace it with a new one with the correct rating capacitance.

Lol don’t worry I’ll tell them straight

[@jhonwick5848]

Good job I want to contact you How to?

[@laboratorioassembler]

Well I think that every technician have a stabilized power supply... and any liquid can be used to identify the shorted cap without an expensive microscope.

[@tossancuyota7848]

nope you need specific kind of water thats not either too combustible or conductive sine youre working on a short imagine poruring normal water on the board and it sipped inside through contact holes/bridge in the PCB( since most of them arent made of hydrophobic materials...) and that caused a contact on both positive and negative rails that would be disastrous , ive tried it once so it was based on epxerience even when i heated the board that water was just evaporated and spread inside the pcb and later caused corotion from the inside under the SIO chip

[@gsmzed2479]

You deserve more subscribers

[@ifeanyingwuta5630]

I can’t believe you boss because you didn’t show how you spotted the capacitor a bad one among the many shorted capacitors. I thought you would show us how you did it, that’s the only way you can back up your saying. Dey play nah😅

The capacitor is a form of protection, most of the time the damage is greater than its benefit No harm without

Hellow JBV i have a short in a vrm graphic card line 12v and i have not a single shorted mosfet im sure of that cause if i measure from the source of the high mosfet to ground i have 13 ohms exactly the same resistence of the gpu chip, but if i measure the positive drain of the high mosfet with ground i have 2.7 ohms so no mosfet short if not i get it the same value in the source of that mosfets to and the gate of all mosfets are not shorted to, my conclusion is i have a short from some capacitor but in this line i have more than 10 capacitors i try use your way the vision power and i spot one but whit my phone camera cause i dont have a microscope yet, cold i sent you a picture for you opinion?? and if i can you give me your email or skype?? thanks Bró im from Brasil.
