Logic probes are ok, but an o'scope will show you so much more. They are not that hard to use, plenty of online tutorials, and some great bargins can be had on used units on ebay.
One easy way to use one, is to go through a known good board, taking pics of pertinent signals on the display, then compare to the board giving you trouble.
Also, o'scopes can be a valuable tool troubleshooting power supply boards. DC,AC, and ripple can allbe easily observed.
