I would definitely check the power supply first. These are notorious for dead electrolytics. I have three 24xx DSOs, and all of their PSUs had to be repaired, most of the secondary side caps were dried out or leaking. . So I would first check the power supply voltages and ripple, that can be easily done on the side panel test points. If they are right, then look at the trigger leds, they flash out a n error code in case the scope cannot boot up to a state where it has display. The codes are described in the service manual. If voltages are not right, then look at the PSU. There are test point on the PSU too, and you can also disconnect the rest of the scope from the PSU to see if there are any shorts on the boards pulling down the power rails. Also look out for a pcb mounted fuse in some (maybe the 5V?) output of the PSU. But my first suspect would be the capacitors. If any of they are bad, just go ahead and replace all on the secondary side, do not forget the one for the standby supply of the pwm controller chip. (Sorry, I don't have the service manual at hand, so I cannot tell you component number, but it will be evident from the schematics/theory of operations sections.) Whie you are there, replace the smoke-bomb wifa X caps too...3 Also, it is sometimes easy for some of the board interconnect cables to come loose, definitely check all of them.
