I just went through this on my TM504A where the high current pin was bad so the module worked but it didn't sense high current. There were multiple problems, a bad contact and a cracked frame, that I

Okay one more question before I dig in. How is the trace A brightness intensified when you first pull the SEC/DIV knob? I assume somehow through U650. How does it know when to kick the trace
