Has anyone seen this behaviour repairing Tek2000 series
scope power supply?
?
Behaviour
1. When power on from cold, it will fire up properly and
stay on for a few minutes
2.? Once it warms up, the power supply shut down and
try to on again and it continues in this on/off mode
3.? Pre-regulator out = 43V? (between TP940 and
TP950)
4.? All voltages when the unit is stable for a few
minutes are +8.6, -8.6, +5.2, +100 are all ok.
?
What are likely problems before I start ripping the
components from the circuit?

?ttesenq@...
suggested that it could be the pre-regulator MOSFET P9070.
?
I though that it could be a electrolytic cap but it doe not
look likely because electrolytic failure would not have allowed the unit to
fire up for a few minutes
It is more likely a active component that weaken with
increase temperature, so ttesenq@...
could be right.?
This would mean Q947 and Q946 are also likely components
