Has anyone got any useful tips for tracing out
schematics? The SMPSU in
I've thought about posting this question myself in the past, but now that
you did, here are my tips:
step 1: if not clear already, assign reference designators to each component
step 2: make a netlist of the board
step 3: create schematics from the netlist
I've read in the past that Tony called someone a whimp cause he said he
didn't dare to reverse engineer a 4 layer board or something like that. I
wonder, if _that_ is easy, how does one solve problems like traces that
run under components? If its a simple and cheap component, it could be
removed and replaced later.
