OK, so it seems that the RIGOL schematic capture project is dead or nobody is interested in the given conditions, so anybody can send an offer where ever he wants, PM or here in the thread, starting at 10EUR (shipping separately).
If by Saturday morning nobody wants it, will be used for spare BNC connectors.

Hello everybody, some while ago I've bought a DEFECTIVE motherboard for the RIGOL DS1104Z scope, the defect was described by the seller that the board was reseting randomly and was replaced by Rigol that didn't want the defective one back.
At the time I didn't have the means to test it, but recently I've got a MSO1074Z-S, intended for spare parts that I've managed to repair and I will keep it, so the DS1104Z motherboard is now for donation or sale.
- Sale:
The starting price is 10EUR plus shipping (in Germany, 4,99EUR), I prefer the following destination: DE, EU and World, in this order, please send offers with your price, open until Saturday 17 09:00 CET.
- Donation:
In my search for my current scope information and firmware I have found some threads where different people were soliciting mainboards for this scope for for schematic reverse engineering (unsoldering of the FPGA/MCU) and eventually as starting point for a new open source firmware. As I consider this a worthy cause, I have this board for donation as well, with the following strings attached (please READ CAREFULLY):
In your offer specify DONATION, the conditions are the same like for sale, EXCEPT I will reimburse the 100% of the board price and up to 10EUR of the shipping costs if you come with a working schematic in less than 100 days, made by YOU (progress needs to be documented in a thread here in Projects..).
If you're the author of a previous request for a board, your price is counted double (please give link to the thread), to give you an advantage and for me to be convinced that is not a "just for lolz" idea.
This above complications were thought in case some one decides to repair and resale the board given as a donation (current price around 350EUR), or gets bored and abandons the project. In any of this situations, you keep the board and I keep the money, I think is fair enough. Any questions and of course offers, please PM me. A pair of pictures are attached.
To keep it in sync with the German law: this is a private sale of a DEFECTIVE device, there is no guarantee that is repairable or fit for your purpose. No returns and responsibility accepted, only make offer if you fully understood this conditions.
Cheers,
DC1MC
