When a PCB fails, the visible symptom is rarely the real fault. A blown fuse, no output, low voltage, overheating MOSFET, or a dead board usually starts deeper in the power path. I trace the root ca...
About this Gig

When a PCB suddenly stops working, overheats, resets randomly, or fails after assembly, the real issue is usually deeper than a single bad part.


I help identify why your board failed, which component is causing it, and what must be corrected before the next build.


This gig is focused on PCB component failure analysis, fault isolation, and root cause debugging for prototype boards, custom electronics, assembled PCBs, and production problem boards.


Problems I can help diagnose

PCB not powering on

Short circuit on power rail

Burnt resistor, capacitor, MOSFET, IC, regulator

Intermittent failure or unstable output

Board heating abnormally

Prototype works once then fails

Batch production failures

Unknown faulty SMD component

Open circuit or solder-related failure

Wrong component selection causing failure


What I do

Review schematic, PCB layout, BOM, test notes, scope readings, or board photos

Trace likely failure path

Identify suspected faulty component or failure region

Determine probable root cause:

thermal overstress

voltage/current overstress

wrong footprint

assembly defect

polarity issue

layout-induced failure

poor decoupling

grounding/power integrity issue
