Can you get into the BIOS and upgrade it or does the MB have flashback facility?
Check the memory is on the MB Vendors list? Check or even increase the timings and or drop the speed back to 3200 and try again? Even if you have some sluggy DDR4 on your current box then fit it.
At least that is where I would start based on what I have seen and read.
If that fails Bedtime slug of Alcohol and sleep and start fresh in the morning
Done it again. Thanks to half a bottle of wine reducing inhibitions, some regret at selling the two that I had before and a thread that prompted me and just being paid for contract, I now own a Philips PM3217
Ergo I am not going for Tek stuff any more but that doesn't mean I'm not going for the scopes. That's s a Hameg and Philips this monthNice one
Traitor.
Yes it is but anything will have better single threaded FP than this turd. I can shift it to AWS and get a nice E7 Xeon but it's not worth it for a cheap arse like me
Edit: apparently it's not single threaded but the usual simulations I do are sequential so it is of no benefit.
Hahaha I will take a stick and shove them away with it. Brunettes from Eastern Europe it is next time
So an hour on ebay and not bought anything yet
grr.
Got all my cabling sleeved up and tidied literally just as the new processor arrived.
New CPU installed; no boot. "Memory Error" beep code. Memory is BALLISTIX/MICRON, checked part # on MB QVL before I bought. Cleared CMOS... removed cooler, checked CPU; installed flush & tight & good coverage. Still same. Stripped down to MB, RAM, & Processor... still no boot. Gonna step back, go play with my son and get the eff away from this monster for a little bit. Will probably come back after the wee beasties are in bed and go through all the obvious troubleshooting step by step. I know it's something STUPID.

So bottle of wine now empty. What remains in the cupboard is a bottle of smirnoff ice . What shall be obtained next shall be decided by thatThat you'll need once you discover how inferior any other scope is compared to a Tek.
No respect for the elders, this one
No, new batch of gear.
I couldn't resist... I bought the hundred buck 485 on ebay and it arrived today.
...
I may just address the problems, clean it up, and see if I can sell it for a reasonable price.

I couldn't resist... I bought the hundred buck 485 on ebay and it arrived today. I wish everything that got shipped to me was packed this well:

.....
It came with some goodies, too... a 50 ohm feed-through, a 93 ohm feed-through, and a couple of 50 ohm terminations along with two scope probes and two copies of the original operators manual.
.....
And after looking it over, I decided to plug it in and see what happened. Here's the calibration output of the scope, running to both channels:
.....
And here's a 2Vpp 100MHz signal from my 6061, also running to both channels:
.....
On first blush, it works pretty well but there are a few issues: the vertical input switch deck is a little wonky and the vertical position pot on channel a is both hard to turn and a little loose in the mounting. I am guessing the scope was dropped, or something dropped on it, at some point. The fan sounds like it is had a rough life. I have a note in to the seller to see how he'd like to address them.
I don't know what the intended market was but I'd guess field service. I like the scope layout and features. I don't like the switching power supply or custom ICs, which make it harder to fix. I may just address the problems, clean it up, and see if I can sell it for a reasonable price.

I'll wait for tggzzz to chip in on any experiences as this particular model has eluded me so far
But I do get a verbal tongue lashing when she discovers my socks have holes in them.

The usual suspects on the PSU board, plus this little known and accurately numbered C911.
That 15V tant bead on a 13V line goes short circuit and takes out R965. That 13V isn't a PSU voltage line, oh no, never.
Just for fun, find the other tant beads on that voltage rail, on the other schematics but the same board.
Apart from that, search for C911 and the 485 threads are few and succinct - unlike the 24x5 threads
Some more philips love / fanboyism. They put all the damn caps on the same sheet as the power supply on the schematic
