Techhelpbb and other folks - My EE degree is a bit dusty; but recently there seem to be a lot of uncertainty about possible problems (and solutions) in this thread and very few clear, specific questions/answers in the last 10-15 posts.
I think the entire conversation would be improved by a clear, clean, concise list of simple observable symptoms linked to proven root causes. There have been a lot of "maybe"s, "sometimes", "somebody told me"s, and possible test method posts (techhelpBB - I have to say some of those have been way into the weeds...); but there have lately been few "Here is the checklist you follow to fix problem X", or "Here is the checklist you follow to separate problem X from problem Y".
Who can cut through the fog, drain the swamp, and help that majority of students & mentors who aren't EEs, and who don't have the time (right now) to immerse themselves in the aracane minutia?
Maybe someone could start a new thread to discuss the physics of the COTS circuitry and possible home-brew test methods, and this one could stick to proven results?
