Right so I am new to switch repairs, I am a retired laptop technician so have a few tools tools at my disposal but I am after beginners advice please.
Please note I am not asking for a holding hand guiding me through everything basically getting others to fix my faults I am after a point in the right direction to source the information.
SO been watching a lot of youtube videos on switch repairs, read almost all of the threads on this forum on issues and some solutions.
I have two no power switches. One has a similar issue to anther thread so will leave that for now, this one however:
Checked usb c, looks perfect, gave pins a wiggle under a microscope all look firm. I first plugged into a laptop to check rcm, does not connect/recognise. Does not draw any amps/volts when plugged into the mains charger. Opened up and checked capacitors around the main 3 chips that get mentioned, p13, mt and the other (sorry forgot names) no chip seems to have any capacitors shorting out around them?
So I am asking I have read a few threads about checking certain volts coming in, certain test pads etc now where can i find the info that shows what reading I should be checking/getting. I would like to check there is power coming in and where it is going, that the chips are acting as they should, that the usb is all connected up fine and I think that is it for now.
Thanks for reading my long story, I am a big fan of this forum, a lot of very helpful people on here trying to give advice.
