Any tips or tricks on how to use it would be appreciated tried using it seems to work good as long as you know the right track you are on.I notice if i touch wrong track or ground it will recalibrate and miss the short. I hope i made a good investment any one has one your input is greatly appreciated.

Re: Got me a new toy leekseaker 89
they are really good for high density boards,like motherboards etc,i use mine a lot with the "3wire hot air system",not that good on power supplys though,
the sound used to get on my tits,but a peice of gaffa tape sorted that outfixed so far...376 lg lcd tv's,24 onn tv;s,24 panasonic lcd,16 jvc lcd,12 marshall jcm800 amps,refurb of various disco equipment lighting,old style disco decks ,and a flymo!

please let us know if everything works ok if your tv gets fixed, as it will be and aid for anyone else having the same problem and wishing to fix it.it would save people clogging up this site with topics that are duplicated,and can be found easily using the search function.,and taking up valuable space.enjoy your fixed tv!,hopefully! -
Re: Got me a new toy leekseaker 89
It looks like a useful device. However, I still use freeze spray and low currents to locate shorts, but that only works with dead to low ohm shorts.
To me, it looks like it's essentially a very high resolution ohmmeter? 16-bit ADC with multiple ranges to search in. I guess it narrows the ADC range when it gets closer to the target and each step forward will make it more sensitive.Please do not PM me with questions! Questions via PM will not be answered. Post on the forums instead!

and it recalibrates itself when it gets closer,i love the hot air method,it really cuts down on time finding shorts,as with a capacitor with a high esr causing "no power"lets say,heating the cap will reduce the resistance,and make that cap work,not for long but it does.
the leakseeker works the same sort of way in hot air mode,when you blow on a component with a straw the seeker goes nuts to the sudden drop in resistance!,bingo,you have found the short.highly recommended.fixed so far...376 lg lcd tv's,24 onn tv;s,24 panasonic lcd,16 jvc lcd,12 marshall jcm800 amps,refurb of various disco equipment lighting,old style disco decks ,and a flymo!

Re: Got me a new toy leekseaker 89
I did soldered a 20 ohm resistor across a capacitor to see if i could detect the short in low setting it was not exact to pinpoint the short but in middle setting it was dead on u could really see difference once u hit the short.and u also know when u passed the short.I think more i use it i will get better.I will also buy can of freeze spray to detect low ohm or dead short.Comment

by MgiffuneI have a 60 inch Samsung UN60EH6000F flatscreen TV. The screen went black a few months ago Sound is good, backlight is good, no menu. I replaced the TCon board with a used board purchased from Ebay. It worked fine for a 3-4 months, then the screen started ‘fading' back. Once again, sound is good, backlight is good, no menu. However, this time the picture looks fine for about 10-15 minutes, then fades back. If I power cycle the TV, the display reappears, for another 10-15 minutes, then fades black again. Repeatable ever time.
I ordered a supposedly ‘new' Tcon board this time, and... -

by the_remHello guys,
I would like a quite old but still good 800 W ATX PSU to be repaired. The problem was an extremely heavy coil whine coming from the small secondary transfomer on the PCB.
I desoldered it hoping the references on the upper side would allow me to find a adequate replacement part. Sadly the written references drove me nowhere but to the manufacturer (I-MAG). I sent them a message like a bottle in the see asking them to send me a datasheet of the transformer. And... They responded ! I received a kind of datasheet (see attachment) but my competencies do not allow... -
by redbaron1007I've got a MacBook Air A1466 that had liquid damage that I got working entirely except for the trackpad. The track pad is jittery or outright unresponsive when it is in macos, but works perfectly fine in recovery mode. The keyboard works and there are no issues with any of the keys not pressing. I have also replaced the track pad with 2 known good track pads and still am having issues with it.
I can't find anything wrong on the board with any of the IC's that would be in circuit with the track pad and am assuming it's some sort of os issue, but I don't know how macOS actually works... - Loading...
