Dive into the intricacies of circuit troubleshooting with the ‘Circuits Troubleshooting Theory and Practice Handbook.’ Discover general tips such as analyzing prior occurrences and recent alterations. Learn to differentiate between functional and non-functional components and formulate hypotheses. Explore specific techniques like swapping identical components, removing parallel elements, dividing systems for section-wise testing, simplifying and rebuilding, and trapping signals. Uncover likely failures in proven systems, including operator errors, bad wire connections, power supply issues, and problems with active and passive components. Delve into potential failures in unproven systems, addressing wiring issues, power supply problems, defective components, improper system configurations, and design errors.
