JYE Tech DSO150 oscilloscope troubles

That is the cloning game: "just give me the sample", as it was common a decade or two ago (it probably still is).
Sometimes it is very difficult to distinguish a clone: I got a LA2016 (still on the boat) bought from an Aliexpress seller named kingst Official Store, but I then noticed the screenshots do not mention Kingst but Jiankun. They may be from the same people, but how the heck do I know?!?

I have seen a lot of these happening in Brasil... In late 1980s there was a brand named "Brokosonic" that ripped some designs from other companies (mostly AM/FM and cassete players). In the early 1990s, "Bakosonic" came to be, ripping off "Brokosonic" designs.
MrElectric:
I'm going to order some replacement components. I'll order the STM32F103CBT6 instead of the STM32F103C8T6 (a B instead of an 8). The STM32F103C8T6 seems to be hard to get today, and from what I can see, the only difference is that the STM32F103CBT6 has more memory (128kB instead of 64kB).
I also found the 1117 in different versions. There's a cheap one, made by Diodes incorporated in Malaysia (ZLDO1117K33TC) and a slightly more expensive one by Texas Instruments (LM1117MPX-3.3/NOPB). I'll order the Texas Instrument one. The pinout is the same for all of these, but I trust TI more than an unknown Malaysian company (though it's probably much better than the chinese one on the PCB (AMS1117 3.3 HK843F)),
I'll order an Uart-USB converter as well, so that I can program the new CPU's.
mikerj:
FWIW Diodes Inc is a large and well respected American semiconductor company, they make a huge range of parts. No need to avoid their parts (in fact I've had more issues with TI parts than Diodes Inc).
Peabody:
MrElectric, I'm not sure it makes sense cost-wise to order all those parts. Even if you replace them, it still may not work. I saw that you have a conversation going on with JYETech on their forum. I would bet that if you contact them privately, they would send you a new unit at no cost except whatever duty you have to pay.
rsjsouza:
Peabody, I would agree with you if it weren't for the first sentence on MrElectric's post:
Just for fun, I bought a JYE Tech DSO150 oscilloscope from Banggood. I thought it would be a fun soldering project that might be usable sometimes.
I think it is the journey that counts in this case. :-+
