Hello all!

I am working on a lab for a class and we are given a simple self-biased
N-channel JFET circuit: Rd =3D 4.7k, Rs =3D 1k, Rg =3D 2M, Q1 =3D 2N4860, V=
dd =3D
+15V.

Then we are given the scenario: Vds =3D 66.5mV, Vd =3D 15V, Vs =3D 14.9V.

Assuming only one component can be bad, what is the likely problem?

I built the circuit in MPLab and tried everything I could think of to
recreate the voltages, but everything I tried does not work. Shorting Rd
was my first thought, but that also results in Vds being 12.6V. What am I
missing? Can anyone get me on the right track? I have shorted and opened
all resistors, the only thing I can't do (or don't know how to do) is
recreate a faulty FET.
