TSP #93 - Teardown & Repair of a BK Precision 879B Handheld LCR Meter
In this short episode Shahriar repairs a more affordable instrument! This BK Precision LCR meter does not power up despite looking almost new. The teardown of the unit reveals several damaged components. Without any schematic and obscure part numbers some circuit configurations have to be reverse engineered. One of the main failed components is a TI DC-DC converter IC whose datahseet is examined during the repair.
The damaged components are replaced and the unit powers on normally. The performance of the instrument is verified using a HP LCR meter.
