Hi

I have a st3500630as PCB board that was working and the drive was to with a faulty 3r3 inductor but when I got this replaced by a trusty repair guy in a TV repair shop it powered on with beeps but then the inductor had come off for what ever reason

I would like to know is there any test that I can do until I receive a replacement inductor to make sure that the PCB is working so I do not waste time in soldering a new inductor

I will really appreciate any help

Thanks

is there no testing that can be done
I am an engineer and very competent with a multimeter

A replacement PCB is out of the question

i totally agree

P.S.
i'm an electronic technician, i'm very competent with a multimeter too

there must be test points on the pcb

If you know test points to compare you can guess where the problem might be, but you already have a known problem (the inductor) so you need first to find a replacement for it then you can check voltages points.
However you need to know which are those test points, the best guy in the forum for test points is 'fzabkar'
