2235 Repair having no power
Hi all, I am fighting with a 2235 PS. I previously repaired several 2213 and 2215A's, and it "always" was the primary switcher, but this time.... I removed the Power FET to apply a external 43VDC to

Re: Please help with TDS340A
Personally I'd use neutral cure silicone. Hot glue gun glue is a pain to remove when you need to.

Re: Please help with TDS340A
...Also what do you recommend to glue the electrolytics to each other and/or the board. They currently are mostly stuck; do I use hot glue or silicone and if so which grade is suitable?

Re: Please help with TDS340A
Thanks again Harvey. I took the scope apart and pulled out the display module. Praise be, it's through hole components! It also appears that the HV section and horizontal deflection parts are all on

Re: TDS6604 Acquisition Board Replacement
Hi Charlie, I tried running SPC but it looks like the Acquisition board I have purchased is faulty. SPC fails and channels 3 and 4 are unstable beyond 2.5GS/s. I might re-visit the original Acq. board

Hi Tony Thank you very much for your guidance. I have been looking for an image of SERVICE ROM for about 5 years without success. It is unbelievable that nobody in the group has this file. After all,

Re: Which programmer to use to read/write dallas DS1486?
Rogerio, The Xeltek 610P will also program these. I suspect any programmer that can program a 128K battery backed RAM chip, and can be set to start at 0E hex, should be able to program the chip. You

Re: Is my Tek 468 beyond repair? Trap and Kernel test procedure
Heitor, POST 3000 indicates that the acquisition RAM has failures. The fact that the testing took place indicates the processor, address bus, data bus and ROM should be ok. The next step would be to

Re: 585A -- time base A linearity
Did some poking around today. Deoxit didn't change anything. I noted, however, that the linearity issue is definitely temp related. It starts out in spec, then drifts out as the instrument warms up. I

Model numbers with a letter following the model make life a lot easier when looking up an instrument on the Internet. Take 465 vs 465B, 2265 vs 2465A. Raymond
