[title] Measuring capacitance (large capacitors) | |
- | [* icon_note] This step shows how to measure larger (mF) capacitors. |
- | [* icon_note] The iFixit multimeter can only measure capacitance up to ~100mF (millifarads). |
+ | [* red] Set the multimeter to the resistance/capacitance mode and press the [link|https://guide-images.cdn.ifixit.com/igi/1E4dSUMjEEFT4NJ2.full|blue select button|new_window=true] to toggle on the capacitance mode. |
+ | [* black] Touch the probes to each end of the capacitor to make a measurement. |
+ | [* icon_note] If you're measuring a capacitor on a circuit board and you're not getting a proper reading, the capacitor may be in parallel with other circuit components. You'll need to desolder or disconnect one end before measuring the capacitor. |
