David:
Anyone know of the cheapest supplier of Rigol scopes for UK customers? I am sure they used to be on ebay for £200 from China before they all got removed?

Joy at MCS is an official UK rep and has it for £281, which sounds like a top price for buying from an official dealer.

Thanks Dave, looks like a good future purchase.

P.S - Good work on the For sale section! I was going to suggest such an idea.

just remember that you need to add VAT to that (17.5 % in the UK) but it is still a good price

Still im not sure its hardware or software, but id like to try rewriting the correct info back into the scope to see if that can solve it. As you can see from a previous post( with link to RC groups http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1222045) someone else has also managed to corrupt this data and has very similar problems to my scope.

You are definitely right. Using serial cable (especially in connection with HyperTerminal) is very risky way, how to upgrade your DS1052E to DS1102E. In some cases it corrumpts part of internal flash memory. Especially if you accidentally hit the ENTER instead of sending correct <LF> code, you can bet that you have just corrupted some data. Sometimes I've experienced these corrupted data even if I sent correct <LF>. Internal flash holds some important factory calibration data (different from Self-Calibration) which are unique to every unit. There is no easy way how to recreate these data if they gets corrupted. So this is the reason why I DO NOT RECOMMEND TO DO IT VIA SERIAL CABLE! I know what I'm talking about.

Check these cases:

@Dave: I'm sorry to say, but I don't think it was a good idea to make a video encouraging people to do this...
