New wiki article (nearly) - Electronics repair
As discussed some time ago, this is the *start* of a new article:
http://wiki.diyfaq.org.uk/index.php?...tronics_repair This one would benefit from a group effort to flesh it out with some practical examples and guidance. There are plenty of general articles out there on electronics repair, hence one that includes some real life diagnosis and repairs of flaky kit would be in keeping with our DIY ethic. So, dive in ;-) Links to good youtube content would be particularly useful here... -- Cheers, John. /================================================== ===============\ | Internode Ltd - http://www.internode.co.uk | |-----------------------------------------------------------------| | John Rumm - john(at)internode(dot)co(dot)uk | \================================================= ================/ |

It looks like hard work for the money though. The SM IC soldering vid was excellent too. Nothing to add just yet. The lack of thermal reliefs on power plane connection to smps caps has always hacked me off, I don't believe it makes a significant difference to the impedance of the connection to the lead. -- fred it's a ba-na-na . . . . |

That subject alone could take up a whole article. I also think its good to acknowledge that one single article on repairs is inevitably going to be far short of covering the topic, no matter how excellent the article, and can probably only usefully cover things doable by people with very little electronic skill, which probably covers 98% of diyers. Unless we're going to write an array of electronic repair articles, people with skill on the topic will already find far more advice elsewhere. NT |

That's very arguable indeed with most modern electronic devices. That subject alone could take up a whole article.

Unless we're going to write an array of That's fair enough, but even at that level there is plenty of stuff that can be repaired. electronic repair articles, people with skill on the topic will already find far more advice elsewhere. Partly why I thought something with a more practical theme, with an intro (partly done), and then walkthroughs for various repairs to give a flavour of the approach and techniques. (Just added one, for fixes to the PSUs on a couple of network switches) -- Cheers, John. /================================================== ===============\ | Internode Ltd - http://www.internode.co.uk | |-----------------------------------------------------------------| | John Rumm - john(at)internode(dot)co(dot)uk | \================================================= ================/ |
