Thanks youtube.
(iusearchlinux.fyi)
$20 if you count the handful of 3amp fuses I popped trying to find the fault, the extra crispy lizard was apparently not the problem.
Does your magic words require a degree to understand and practice or my dumb ass can learn the magic of fixing ACs?
being an electrical engineer has its perks, but the couple youtube videos i watched didn't require any technical knowledge, mostly just safety knowledge, like the one hand rule and how to safety squint.
Yay ! Still some hope.
is figuring out this sort of stuff an exercise of trying to reverse engineer the product, or is it much simpler than I make it out to be? whenever I want to try and fix something all the videos I see people just magically know which places shouldn’t be shorting, and magically know which capacitor is causing it
It can be simple, you don't have to understand why something is wrong to know that it's wrong. They magically know it's the capacitor because it's the usual suspect, and they usually look swollen (the capacitor not necessarily the youtuber). Common problems are common, which is why youtube is pretty great because somene has probably had the same problem and posted the fix.
