No such a device! There are some handheld Oscilloscopes etc. man I wish there was huh guys? If you could get a device that I could plug in and tell me what’s wrong I would be a millionaire. :)
Hey this ole boy didn’t want to sell you any property in Florida did he? No really, he was pulling your leg. Have fun… :)
Let me edit this a little, there are devices out there to do something like you mention. It looks for error codes, false this or open that but to come up and say well R1 in the IF section of the unit is defective, no such animal… You see this mostly in the automotive arena.
