If it ran then failed after a little time I would tend to suspect a tantalum capacitor is shorted or shorting.? Keep that in mind when troubleshooting.? The guide might get you to the proper area then look carefully for burned caps or other components before digging in super deeply.

I was fortunate enough to receive the 3585b SA recently. When I first picked it up it powered up fine and display appeared to be normal.? Getting it home and after setting it up, it again worked fine. I ran some tests and looked at signals on the screen and was happy with what I was seeing.
However powering it up a couple of days later, there is no display other than a dot in the centre that flashes. While booting up, 1st heard is one beep followed shortly by 2 and then a long pause before several beeps are heard, about? 28.? They start off quickly and then slow down near the end.
I've re-seated some boards and several connections with no change in results.
Any help in pointing me in next steps would be most appreciated.
