How do you identify and replace faulty transistors, diodes, and LEDs?

由人工智能和领英社区提供技术支持

Transistors, diodes, and LEDs are common electronic components that can malfunction due to various reasons, such as overheating, overvoltage, physical damage, or manufacturing defects. If you want to repair your electronic devices, you need to know how to identify and replace these faulty components. In this article, we will show you some basic steps and tips to do so.

1 Test with a multimeter

A multimeter is a handy tool that can measure voltage, current, resistance, and other electrical properties. You can use it to test the functionality of transistors, diodes, and LEDs by setting it to the appropriate mode and connecting the probes to the component terminals. For transistors, you need to check the base, collector, and emitter pins for the expected readings. For diodes, you need to check the forward and reverse bias voltages. For LEDs, you need to check the voltage drop and the brightness. If the multimeter shows abnormal or inconsistent results, the component is likely faulty.

2 Locate on the circuit board

Once you have identified the faulty component, you need to locate it on the circuit board where it is soldered. You can use the schematic diagram of the device or the markings on the board to find the component. You can also use a magnifying glass or a flashlight to inspect the component for any visible signs of damage, such as cracks, burns, or corrosion. You should also check the surrounding components and traces for any signs of short circuits or open circuits.

3 Desolder and remove

To replace the faulty component, you need to desolder and remove it from the circuit board. You can use a soldering iron and a desoldering pump or a solder wick to melt and suck the solder from the component terminals. You should be careful not to damage the board or other components with the heat or the tools. You should also wear protective gloves and goggles to avoid burns or eye injuries. After desoldering, you can pull out the component with a pair of tweezers or pliers.

4 Choose a replacement

To choose a suitable replacement for the faulty component, you need to match the specifications and ratings of the original component. You can find these information on the datasheet of the component or on the internet. You should also consider the size, shape, and orientation of the component to fit the circuit board. You can buy replacement components from online or local electronic stores or salvage them from other devices.

When I worked in the radio TV workshop, there was no internet. We had comparison manuals with the most important values and connection diagrams. A distinction was made between transistors of European, American and Japanese manufacture. American and Japanese original transistors were difficult to obtain, with careful selection European replacement types could also be used, sometimes the connection diagram was not the same so that the connection legs had to be soldered in twisted. New components were always used for professional repairs, as the components were subjected to thermal stress when they were soldered in and out again and the customer also paid the new price with a functional guarantee.

5 Solder and test

To install the replacement component, you need to solder it to the circuit board. You can use a soldering iron and a solder wire to attach the component terminals to the board pads. You should follow the polarity and alignment of the component and avoid creating cold or dry solder joints. You should also trim any excess leads or wires with a wire cutter. After soldering, you can test the functionality of the component and the device with a multimeter or a power supply.

6 Troubleshoot if needed

If the replacement component does not work as expected or causes other problems, you may need to troubleshoot the issue. You can check the connections and solder joints for any errors or defects. You can also check the compatibility and quality of the replacement component. You can also use a logic probe or an oscilloscope to analyze the signals and waveforms of the component and the circuit. You may need to replace other components or adjust some settings to fix the issue.
