How to test an N-Channel MOSFET??

[Azhar]

I have an LED TV which is dead. The main component in the power supply board is the MDF7N60B which is an N-Channel MOSFET, I suspect it is the cause of the TV being dead, I already removed this component, but I am not sure how to test it!
is there a way to test it with a DMM? 
Can I replace this MDF7N60B with any other equivalent component?

Thank you in advance!

Hi,

Please take a look at this video.



No its better to replace with the same mosfet.

First thing I do is check to is if there is a short between any of the pins.

There are many factors that go into choosing a FET for a particular application. On resistance, off resistance, max peak current, max steady state current, max voltage, gate charge and others. If you have to replace a FET with a different one all these have to be taken into consideration. That requires an understanding of why that particular component was chosen. "Better" values might lead to unintended consequences.
