While waiting for the GPIB cable to arrive, I have a question that I would really appreciate your help answering.
My Advantest R6581 was working perfectly. I only replaced the battery because I was afraid of a battery leak, which damaged the device.
When I replaced the battery, the device showed the error shown in the image above. However, when I removed the battery and turned the device on, it still displayed the same error message.
After repeatedly soldering and resoldering, I accidentally stripped the positive pins on the printed circuit board of the battery.
I suspect there is an open circuit on one of the wires connected to the positive terminal of the battery
However, when measuring from the positive terminal of the battery to R99 and pin 1 of the MAX695, there is still continuity
I suspect that damage to the anode (or even the cathode) of the battery's printed circuit board has resulted in an open circuit somewhere.
I only see a single circuit path from the positive terminal to resistor r99; I don't even know where the negative terminal is connected
There is no circuit diagram. If anyone knows, please let me know so I can check it specifically.
Looking forward to hearing from Mickle T and his friends.
