Re: HP 8566B repair: -10V rail went down
Matt¡­ Inductors don¡¯t generally self-destruct like that; it takes an over-current situation to get a very low DC resistance to get that hot. Somewhere there may be a capacitor that shorted, and

Re: HP 8566B repair: -10V rail went down
Well just to reiterate the instrument is fully functional. The only goal was to track down and remove the burn smell. The fact that the instrument continued to work is consistent with the values I

Awesome. Kit is ordered and I have disassembled the ATT from the main chassis.

Re: HP 8566B repair: -10V rail went down
Matt... From the picture I would guess that the inductor spewed on the cap, which is probably OK based on your measurements, but replacing it can't hurt.

Re: HP 8566B repair: -10V rail went down
Well bad news I am sure the caps fine the inductor smoked and that says something else is bad within the module. I hate to suggest my concern. Good pix by the way instantly understandable. Regards

When trying to locate the source of a side band issue in my 8568, I discovered that several of the colored plastic flips used for lifting the PCB's up from the mb was broken. With time, they seem to

Re: New to the group, troubleshooting HP4261A
Bonjour: See similar on many old HP LCR meters. Do you live in a very clean air location eg countryside or in a big city? Pollution oxidizes contact. Typical for flaky PCB switch or relay contacts.

Re: HP 8566B repair: -10V rail went down
I believe I located the source of the burn smell. A11A5 L5 and C9 were both charred (see attached image). C9 is a 2.2u 20V axial tantalum. These form a lowpass filter on the -10 V rail for the YTO

Re: 8594E input attenuator issue?
The symptoms your unit shows point in fact to the O-ring problem. The rubber becomes hard and brittle over the time. I had a couple of attenuators showing the same an fixed them all with 2x1x0.5mm

8594E input attenuator issue?
Hi! In my quest to repair my SA, I am now facing a potential failed input attenuator. The dbm readings are within specs as long as I use a multiple of 20 in the attenuator setting. For example,
