I've had a Rigol DS1054Z, (my very first scope
) for a few months. During the fall we had a large lightning strike near my house which hit my router and fried most of the NICs attached. I had my scope plugged in to the network as well. It wasn't until this past week I tried to turn it on and realized what may have happened.
When I turn it on some of the lights come up and the fan turns on and then I hear rapid clicking from the back side.
I've emailed Rigol about it, I fear it will be considered out of warranty.
I assume since scopes are very precise and complicated machines there probably isn't a blown capacitor or scorched trace that can be simply repaired. Does anyone have advice?
Here's a quick video of the problem:
