Ordered an ANENG AN8008 Multimeter.

Hello, I'm incompetent.

Finally, I purchased a multimeter based on the philosophy of repairing and continuing to use things I like that are related to me.

The deciding factor for the purchase was this blog by Mark Hennesy.

Budget Multimeters › Aneng AN8008 Multimeter Review

It seems to be an upgraded model of the AN8002, which is considered a classic, with new features added.

The purchase price was a bargain at just over 3,000 yen, including shipping, for this multimeter.

I've confirmed that multimeters with similar performance are not available at this price, so considering the performance-to-cost ratio, it's an insane value for money.

This will allow me to learn more about circuit board repair than ever before, so I decided to try it out due to my personal curiosity.

Including junk SSDs for experimentation...

When reading or watching reports on SSD repair, I often see many failures around the controller.

I ordered an SSD for experimentation as junk, but it would be meaningless if it's just a damaged partition table.

Therefore, I'm also thinking about ways to intentionally damage the SSD controller, but upon closer inspection, I don't understand the cause.

For example, damage during power supply from the power unit in the case of SATA power supply, or damage during power supply from the MB side via the M.2 slot. Or the possibility of damage when exposed to high-temperature environments for a long period.

I have a feeling that intentionally replicating the above conditions as if they were actual failures might be quite difficult.

I have a somewhat masochistic tendency to wish my home SSD would break soon... but my enthusiasm for repair is also growing for audio equipment, so I'd like to try "circuit board-level" audio equipment repair as well. I don't really consider cable disconnection repair to be "repair" in the same sense. (That being said, I did perform a cable disconnection repair a few days ago (´・ω・｀))

Once it arrives, I'll try it out with some capacitors I have lying around at home.

That's all for now.
