I recently acquired a TDS 3014B 'scope.
It looks fine and operates as it should, except for its LAN interface.
In the beginning (first half day since I got the 'scope), it could sometimes be configured and would be OK for a while, then stop after a few minutes.
Now, after a few days, the LAN interface does not work at all and even hangs up (blocks) the 'scope when I select the DHCP button in the LAN setup menu:
Immediately after I press the DHCP enabling button, the usual popup telling me it'll try and acquire an IP address appears. After that, everything stays frozen and no buttons or knobs respond. The only way to get out of that situation is power cycling, however after that, the scope shows its normal background, graticule, numbers etc. but no traces appear and it does not respond to operating keys or knobs.
The only remedy seems to be power cycling while doing a Reset by keeping the "B Trig" button depressed during power up.
This to me looks like a hardware/firmware failure. I haven't found a way to completely disable/enable the LAN interface, thereby possibly resetting the thing.
I'd very much appreciate any remedies, ideas or info.
