Volts Amps and Resistance made simple.

I had a difficult time learning electronics in school, and it wasnt until I started doing some of my own experiments, that many of the principles I was taught started to make sense. If you learn best by a hands on approach, perhaps you will find my videos helpful.\r

How to troubleshoot and repair Switch Mode Power supplies by Jestine Yong at . This book is a bit spendy but Im still glad I purchased it. In my opinion its a must read. Jestine is good at getting right to the main points you need to understand about troubleshooting this kind of power supply and its associated feedback circuits.\r
Since a majority of the problems I have seen on LCD TVs are related to bad power supplies I figured it will pay for itself many times over. Most of the book was easy reading with plenty of pictures and diagrams.\r

Even though this book was about computer monitor repair I found most of the troubleshooting techniques he demonstrates also applied to LCD TV repair so I was glad to have read it. Much like the book on Switch Mode Power Supplies it was easy to read and similar to Johns Prehers book on LCD repair but in Jestines own style. It had lots of pictures and good troubleshooting techniques.\r
