BoardView Reader answers the two questions every motherboard repair tech asks: where do I measure this power rail, and which part do I replace? Open the board's boardview and schematic, locate the rail in one tap, test it with your multimeter and find the reference and value of the component to change — on your phone, tablet and computer. LOCATE A POWER RAIL • Search a rail (PPBUS_G3H, PP3V3_S5, VCC_MAIN…) or a component in a single field • Every point on the same net lights up on the board, top and bottom • Spot the most accessible capacitor or test point to place your probe • Flip the board, rotate 90°, show one side or both, just like on the bench TEST FOR SHORTS • Measure the rail in diode mode and log the reading in one tap • Compared with a known-good board, it is judged at once: matches, slight difference, large difference, likely short, open line • Your reference values apply to every board with the same number; share them as CSV FIND THE PART TO REPLACE • Tap a component: its reference, value, voltage, tolerance and package, read from the schematic • Side, pin count and the net of each pin in the inspector THE SCHEMATIC IN THE RIGHT PLACE • Import the board and its PDF schematic with the same name: they are paired automatically • Tap a component: the schematic opens on the right page, the reference boxed • Tap a net or a reference in the schematic: "Show on board" takes you back AN ORGANISED SHOP • Sort boards into folders: in repair, donors, customers… • Each board keeps its schematic and its readings • On a computer: hover info with the mouse and customisable keyboard shortcuts FORMATS: BRD (Test_Link, including encoded), BRD2, BDV, BVR and BVR3, CST. A demo board and schematic are included so you can try everything right away. FREE TO READ — Opening and reading boards is free.
