At work when we have shorts on Boards, My Manager will make me remove each IC , transistor, component one by one until the short is gone
Is this really the right way to go? isn't there another way than just guessing like this, it just takes hours and days doing it like this
How can I "segregate" the VCC, Grounds , Branches, traces so I know where the short is?
How would you guys approach this?
applying power to the board with a shorted component, the shorted component will HEAT UP... use a thermal (or sometimes a cell camera works) camera to find the hot spot.
