175. Part 11 ka Sabse Important Lesson
Wireless fault ko pehle do categories mein divide karo:
DEVICE DETECT NAHI HO RAHA
ya
DEVICE DETECT HAI LEKIN SIGNAL WEAK HAI
Agar Wi-Fi greyed hai:
POWER → RESET → CLOCK → DIGITAL BUS
Agar Wi-Fi ON hai but range weak:
RF FRONT-END → COAX → CONTACT → ANTENNA
Bluetooth ke liye bhi same logic.
GNSS ke liye:
ANTENNA → FILTER → LNA → RECEIVER
Aur NFC ke liye:
CONTROLLER → MATCHING NETWORK → COIL
Professional technician RF chip ko first suspect nahi karta.
Pehle decide karta hai:
