It works if the gate is open. But if it is shorted to
gnd/vcc, you're in
trouble :)
Yea. In my case the chip was quite cool, so I figured it wasn't shorted
and took the risk. On reflection checking vcc/gnd with a multimeter would
be a more definitive way of checking for a short of that nature.

I'm sure it only works if the chip has a particular type of fault, but
it
worked this
time for me.

I use a HP 10529A logic comparator on regular basis for fault finding in
ttl circuits.
It compares a reference chip with the CUT (Chip under test;) it's a very
nice diagnostic tool.
It's a bit like piggy backing just a little more sophisticated :0
