For that price you can get the MSO5000. --- Quote from: BirdManPhil on June 15, 2024, 01:56:24 pm ---One thing that appealed to me was the native 12 bit of the siglent --- End quote --- The Rigol HDO804 is also 12 bits. --- Quote from: BirdManPhil on June 15, 2024, 01:56:24 pm ---in video reviews I watched they were able to really zoom in on small artifacts with great detail and I really like that alot --- End quote --- You don't need that for looking at i2c buses (or any other digital) though. |

You know the saying "Buy cheap, buy twice". --- End quote --- So we should all buy BMW/Mercedes as our first cars? --- End quote --- That is a bit of an exaggeration but it helps to buy a decent car right of the bat. Currently I have a cheap, tiny clunker car on loan from the garage because my car broke down. The tiny clunker car is a handfull to drive (like a go-kart) and noisy as hell. So yes, spending more gives you more comfort and enjoyment. |

Yes of course. I already do micro smd work sort of, I can split iphone logic board sandwiches I have thermal camera for finding shorts and a trinocular strereoscope. I'm still learning how to transplant the cpu/nand/eprom/bbic without floating other components on the new board but yeah my hands aren't as steady as thi was practicing teplacing a cey used to be either I feel your pain lol.the last time replacing the charging ic on a dead donor iphone 13 board I made a mess but hey practice makes perfect right. I'm working diligently to ge my diagnostic abilities on par though and that requires capable reliable accurate equipment and alot of learning. |

I don’t recall him ever using much more than a multimeter and thermal camera to identify faults. Granted it seems like there was a basic list of failures or bad component histories, so it’s not like he was diagnosing equipment that he did not already have some information about. |

So diagnose once and repeat every time you find the same problem. |
