HP8924C Cal File Checksum Incorrect
Hi, I have a HP8924C with R .A.02.02. When I start up the message appears: "cal file checksum incorrect. File reset to default values." I don't have a card memory. How can I fix that? Thanks Molina

Re: 8924C Won't Power On
Thank you for the reassuring advice as well as the link that allowed me to follow it all the way down to a PDF. I think due to the age of this I'm better off in the long run replacing the entire PSU.

Re: 8924C Won't Power On
I'd say the same. It is a lot of work, you gotta buy QUALITY capacitors, patience, patience, patience. At least you can buy a revised, remanufactured power supply with full warranty from Amtronix.

Take it from me, recap them all. Or you will be like me and digging back into that PSU in another year or so wishing you had. Plus, its not so hard to remove the glue. A good tug with pliers and it

Re: Program to retrieve HP8920 calibration data...
Oliver, I think you're referring to the software to effect the extraction of the cal data from your 8920. That's here in our file section in the "HP8920 Tools" folder:

Re: Program to retrieve HP8920 calibration data...
Hi all, I recently acquired a used 8920A and an 8335, both of which have some minor issues. Since I have some spare modules and board to swap around, I would be really interested in trying the

Re: 8924C Won't Power On
YES, a bad cap! I fortunately heard back from Amtronix this evening. Not only does he have replacement power supplies available but he actually showed me which capacitor normally goes out. I will try

Re: 8924C Won't Power On
Yes, you can often get by just replacing the small capacitors on on or two of the vertical boards. I must confess that I¡¯ve done this rather than the full recap of the supply. So far, I¡¯ve been

Re: 8924C Won't Power On
I am not an expert in service monitors. But I repair a lot of old electronics, and not only in them, but also in my own E8285A, the problem is mostly the same - old tantalum capacitors. I'd begin

Re: 8924C Won't Power On
I meant to add that Amtronix sells a rebuilt supply with your exchange for about $ 350.? I got one of them about 10 years ago for about $ 250 I think.? ? I later repaired 2 of the supplies in other

Guaranteed to be bad capacitors. Attached is a repair guide for the 8924C from the old groups I downloaded and a list of caps I replaced in a couple of 8924 power supplies a while back. In your

Re: 8924C Won't Power On
It is probably some bad?electrolytes capacitors in the power supply.? That is a well documented cause of the 8924c and others of the series not coming on.? Many old switching supplies are like
