Power mosfet question
I have a power mosfet that was shorted.. Due to my carelessness...
A very fine sliver of solder bridged the gate to the drain. Would this usually destroy the said mosfet? Or something else in line with it?? Its a K3556... Is there a simple test for these? The drain pin was cut off, but enough left to make a very fine solder bridge... ughh... |

If I'm holding the volt meter on the gate side of the mosfet while starting up it will work... i guess I have to trace back and see whats burnt up.. |

It's most likely if you didn't over bias the fet and kill it, you may have destroyed the driving circuit since it most likely can only handle a fraction of what is on the drain.. |
