HI Rob/Igor,
Well yes I would prefer to have an HP/Agilent instrument and understand the possible reliability issues with way cheaper alternatives.
However my point is (as Rob points out at the end) one would hope that even a cheap device (and remember I did opt to buy the 'genuine' one) should last for longer than <30Hrs.
It's weird that it has been so accurate and reliable (meticulously checked against HP test gear) and suddenly died with no warning.
The main functions of the device are clearly running as the processor is generating the graticule and text around the periphery of the screen, why is the data being prevented from appearing?
Everyone talks about 'jiggling' the LCD ribbon cable without describing why this fixes it or how. (or not!)
The TinySA ULTRA is just so convenient to quickly connect up for a quick check it beats dragging an HP monster out from under the bench...lol!
