Stupid question.. do I put the probes on the diode pins or the solder pads where they are connected to the PCB, or shouldn't it matter?
As said I was struggling to get readings with several diodes that I randomly tested, so I think I'm just doing it wrong.
I don't feel confident in saying one way or the other whether D3 or indeed any other diode is bad, or even just slightly bad. At least with the fuses I could get consistent, repeatable results. With the exception of the GI not dimming (somewhat academic with LEDs fitted anyway) everything in the game works perfectly, so clearly all these diodes I'm failing to get readings on aren't defective.
I really appreciate all the help you're trying to give. I do think however that I need someone to come out and probably tell me in 10 minutes decisively what's wrong with the GI. I don't even know what I'm looking for with these traces, for example.
