* The ICs with and * have not been tested in real and cannot be guaranteed for the moment.
** RIOT is a very complex component; the tester could return wrong results especially with Chinese ICs and therefore we do not guarantee the test results.
T.Beyer (verified owner) –
Bought here a while ago. A quite useful tool but also with some pitfalls. RIOT test does not work correctly with almost 90% of the ICs, therefore unusable. PIA and RAM tests OK with low error rate. The marking for the positioning of the ICs is missing on the test socket, so you have to look at the very short manual every time after a long time. Unfortunately, the test socket is not exactly of the highest quality, which can actually be expected for the price. From my point of view, unfortunately, it was a bad buy.
