X8j6l Schematic Hot ((full)) <BEST>

: This is the most accurate way to see if the heat is originating from the "X8J6L" chip or a nearby tiny capacitor.

Set the power supply voltage to (never inject full rail voltage like 19V into a dead short, as it can destroy thin inner PCB copper layers). Set the current limit to roughly 1.0A to 1.5A . x8j6l schematic hot

A "hot" X8J6L is rarely the cause of the problem—it’s usually the victim of a shorted capacitor elsewhere. By using your schematic to identify the output rail and testing the resistance to ground, you can save the board without blindly replacing chips. : This is the most accurate way to
