Thank you,
yeah this is a nightmare, but nothing else on the board got hot so I'm hoping nothing else got damaged
Is there any war stores or books on anything related to this? This is very interesting,
(My emphasis.)
Well, windozeuser, you asked.
Electronics is, IMHO, nothing more nor less that the manipulation of electricity to acheive some desired end. Pure and simple, right?
As you may be realizing, though, that there's nothing simple in its execution.
This forum has a huge crew of people with
vast training, experience and an ocean of war stories that they draw on in their attempts to answer the questions posed here.
I think that, to a person, they would respond to your query with an equally huge array of answers.
I can really only respond with one: go to a library (or the internet) and find anything related to "basic electronics" (I'm assuming a generalized understanding of electricity on your part). And then just start reading.
It's the only real way to learn what you have now come to find "very interesting" (as we, here, did at some time in our past)
.
We'll be here when you need us.
