That looks like a nice probe, not so clumsy as the rp3300
Looking again through Dave's teardown photos of the DS2000, and I noticed a pad labelled 'VIDEO OUT' and some unpopulated footprints near the first FPGA (connected to the ADC and sample memory).
I'm really curious about this... has anyone done any probing there - or have an idea what it may be for?

is that 14 way header a known jtag for something ? or is it a VGA header ? which would have 5 pins ?
Yes, it's very strange,Also the video output seems to return to the fpga. No return, out fron the FPGA!
To the 10 pin IC reach from the right three tracks:Analog RGB? or Digital?Analog Sync!Very strange.
Anyone know if you can get a front dust cover for the DS2000? I've seen one for the DS4000...
Are you sure the firmware file is correctly named as it was originally?
I had mine renamed (to help me know what firmware version it was) and forgot to rename it back and had the exact same behavior.
Are you sure the firmware file is correctly named as it was originally?I just extracted it from the zip file, was that not right?I had mine renamed (to help me know what firmware version it was) and forgot to rename it back and had the exact same behavior.Well, the problem is, that the scope locks up as soon as i plug in even en empty USB drive :-(
Does the scope need some crazy formatting? I just formatted with linux command line...i.e. FAT32, single partition on DOS compatible MBR
Try another USB drive.
Funny, last time i did a self-cal, on the end i got a message, not a reboot.
the message was, that is was ended, and asked please reboot.
that was nice and polite of the DSO.
First i thought i was because of the new FW, but today i did a self-cal,
and it di not show the message, but did the reboot as always..
Have somebody here seen this message also..?

Is a analog video sync separator for NTSC, PAL: 480I/P, 576I/P, 720P, 1080I/P/PsF
So it does have some sense. But why is unpopulated?
Thanks for the info gilbjd. By now the range is:
DS2A1520xxxxx (Week 20, 2013) -> RP3300
DS2A1527xxxxx (Week 27, 2013) -> RP3300A
Soon after, my DS2072 "gave off the magic smoke" No more playing 'till it gets replaced
