it is not necessary to buy short circuit checking devices connect one used battery(with low
voltage) with an LED or a piezobuzzer and check the traces for any short

With such device you can figure out that all wires on board are shorted together, even if they are
not!!! Try to connect such device between GND and VCC lines - it will show that they are shorted
(if your device uses 5V, 100 mA - it will be exactly 50 Ohm, that are detected by such simple
device as short!)
That is the reason for high price of short detectors - they precisely measure in range less than 1
Ohm.

Being an intellectual creates a lot of questions and no answers. Lack of knowhow is a more advanced form of
wisdom

to be a simple squealer that squealed at the short. As useful as using a DMM on the "buzz"
setting.
