how to troubleshoot?

[Philip]

Hello
An Oscilloscope is very useful. If you go and pickup an electronics magazine there will be tons of adds...... I would recomend getting a 2chan and atleast 40mhz
and of curse fully working.....(wouldnt be to hard to check if you have used one before)  
There are cheap used ones that are good.........
I personally got one that have been working propely for 10years+ (got it from mine father)(still alive:)
seen the same kind at several diffrent places
it really rocks) However if you got cash to spend get a digital so u can upload upload the results to the pc/mac(now were talking 1000$ range)
Jiwatsu does good oscilloscopes
Now easiest is to borrow from a friend and they are fairly easy to use/make sure you get a probe to )
however you can go along way whit a multimeter and knowleadge.
 Check for any fryed componets.
Then you can use the oscilloscope to make really cool patterns (then you need x-y)
