testing equipment
#8

Missed the "blind" part, sorry.

OK then you can use a DMM on a "diode" setting. It beeps when seeing that Vf across a forward-biased diode, so when checking B-E and B-C, listen to the beep in one direction and the lack of thereof in another direction on both junctions.
Also check the E-C with the Ohmmeter with beep turned on for a direct breakdown (not sure how you will measure leakage being not able to read the value). But suppose it will be either good or bad.

Otherwise I got no good advice.....


Found a youtube video where a young guy made an inexpensive talking DMM for his blind friend using Arduino and some other stuff. It talks in Italian. But could probably made to talk in English.
