Hi
I recently built my own PCB board and I suspected it was faulty due to high current consumption when powering it with 5V. Now I want to test my faulty blank PCB board with a multimeter and a power supply unit in order to iron any short-circuited on the PCB board. Unfortunately I cannot remember how to to do but I vaguely recalled that I have done it the past as I applied a low current to the PCB and I tested it with my multimeter to measure the low voltage. If the voltage drops down to virtually zero in the region, I assumed the short-ciruited potentially was somewhere in that region. Is that correc method?
Regards
