Hello guys,

I just did a repair on my point A(oled modchip reference) using a 4.7k 0201 resistor and also did the repair for the resistor to the left of it which has a value of 47k. My question is it normal that my reading for the 47k is actually around 10k and my 4.7k is reading at around 1k? Thanks!

I could be wrong but isn't it because you're reading the components while still attached to the system? The resistor is in parallel with everything else between those nodes. Someone correct me, don't you need to desolder basic components to test them?

Hey thanks for the reply. This is also what I've read as well, I just wanted to know what values i should be getting after the repair
