Re: TDS3044B repair
I couldn't tell you. In my experience, it *very rare* to have the LCD itself fail. There have been a rare time or two where the customer actually broke the LCD. The most common complaint I get with

Thanks Chuck.? I will see what they cost and decide whether to take my chances with cheap ones or spend the extra.? This oscope isn't that important on my bench so it depends.? Even an old battery

Re: 2440 nvram (was: NVRAM back-up battery change on a 2715..... avoiding disasters)
I recommend strongly against buying NVRAM modules on ebay, or Amazon. They are very commonly faked by removing the date code, and re stamping them with something current. Buy them from DigiKey,

Re: Tek 485 short sweep
Hello JR, In my 465b, this short sweep/trace problem was due to a faulty potentiometer, x1 gain in the horizontal amplifier section. Replacing this pot and adjusting 1x gain fixed this problem for me.
