Hello.
I apologize if this has been asked before.
I am an electronics graduate (bachelor) so I know the basics to electronic components and how to test them, but I have no clue how I can start diagnosing a PCB or a new equipment. I know that I should first perform a visual inspection then maybe look for shorts in the primary side (not exactly sure how this can be done) but then what? How can I proceed on the diagnosis. I know am not supposed to unsolder every equipment, test it then put it back so what are the steps that you usually take and how do you usually proceed with fault detection and minimize your faults area
I also have troubles sometimes finding how some components are connected with each others as I get lost following the pcb paths. Should I be doing that and am I missing something?
Please share any advice that you could give, I would appreciate everything
