    It's funny. I do board repair in the navy occasionally, and I have watched a lot of repair content. But I didn't actually know this was a repair channel, thought it was more of an activism and economic channel.
    This was a solid repair executed in a way that teaches people. How you talk to your students is very similar to how I teach junior folks
    I'm gunna have to go back and watch more of your repair content

    you do not need to remove the fuse. Just inject voltage before and after the fuse and take a look at whether the fuse is getting hot to not. If is getting hot, then you know that short-circuited current is travelling via fuse and the fault gonna be on that side.

    This is how you should do it
    5 7 (8or9) 10 (assumed the error is at 10, of cause you would not know this.)
