--- Quote from: is9582 on May 01, 2024, 05:33:39 am ---I just received a used DSOX1102G today (eBay purchase) and unknowingly crapped all over it. I saw it was running FW 1.10, and there was a nice shiny new FW 1.20, just calling out my name.  |O I snapped a shot of the "About This Oscilloscope" page, prior to engaging my stupidity, which displayed a whole host of installed licenses, and displayed the BW as 200MHz. I just thought the seller had purchased licenses and upgrades (MSO, FPG, memMax, EMBD, AUTO, ALT, FLEX, PWR, SGM, MASK, TEL, BW50, BW20, BW10, BW7, FRC, AUDIO, DIS, EDK, WAVEGEN, AERO, VID, ADVMATH, FLEXC, DIS, DIS, VID, DVM, ASV, CABLE, SCPIPS, RML, SGMC, TOM, FWD), not knowing 200MHz wasn't even an offered BW for this scope.  :-//

So, as I'm quite sure, everyone that has been on this ride for any time at all, already knows that my new shiny gem is now just a kinda dull penny. 70MHz with four or five items listed in licenses! Doh! Any guidance that might help me get back to whence my scope once was??

I guess I'm so used to snagging and loading the newest FW onto my Fractal Audio AF3, on the regular, that the other scenarios never even crossed my older brain.

Hell of an introduction, huh??

it's been a lot of pages since then, but maybe that scope has FERCSA's firmware installed? had? (it's not clear in your post what's wrong with the scope)

does the scope work fine? by the title of the thread you might already be aware that this scope does support 200MHz bandwidth but not through official means. those unofficial means include FERCSA's firmware, Bud's firmware, resistors setting the hardware configuration, and who knows if anyone else hacked their own firmware to unlock the options.

if the firmware you installed was from keysight's website, it could be that the previous firmware installed was FERCSA's. you could try installing Bud's 1.20 unlocked firmware and get all the working options back. if it was another custom firmware+hardware modifications, maybe ask the seller to send you the modified firmware and install it again?

The scope does work presently, at a slower bandwidth, and less features. I didn’t explain well, but do believe it was hacked prior to me purchasing. I don’t know if the person that sold this scope, bought it new, or second-hand (like me). I’ll reach out to the seller first, and if unsuccessful, try Bud’s 1.20 unlocked firmware. Fingers crossed! I appreciate your input and assistance.

Cheers,

Lee

Just wanted to share that I was successful obtaining a previous backup of my scope from the seller. Whew, a learning event.  :phew: Let’s see if I can keep my goof-ups to a minimum from this point forward!  :-[  :-+

great! do you know if it was FERCSA's firmware? or another custom one?
