Hi everyone,
I have got an old 84510a (US3734...) for a few bucks.
It powerd up, but no display, did not boot.
With an external VGA screen, I quickly found out what's wrong: Dallas battery low, HD failure.
I have unsoldered the Dalla chip, soldered a chip carrier and installed a new Dalas chip: BIOS was happy.
A new 2.5" HD hacked from an old laptop, restore a 3.50 Ghost image, and that's it: BOOT
Unfortunately my happiness died in the middle of self tests, when Time tag, Timebase an Interpolator refused to collaborate...
As told here by Infinium wizards, I verified connection between Acq and interface board, cleaned ADC hybrids, but nope.
Has someone some good timebase chips (they aren't hybrid on this old acq board) that I could swap, or, better, a functionnal acq board (with hybrid timebase, it would be a plus ;o), even without attenuators nor ADC?
Thank's for reply.
