Agilent 53132A Counter Repair (FIXED and Upgraded)
TheSteve:
The counter does look to have newer firmware then I have seen posted anywhere - 4806. Not quite as easy to dump and post as it was with older units that had four socketed PLCC devices.
Vgkid:
Could you either substitute a different fan to run off of another rail(non standby rail).
Or, use a relay to turn on the fan(off the 5v rail, or others) and keep it wired the same way.
The 2nd one is how that is implemented in the 5335.
HighVoltage:
Interesting comments everyone - thank you, I will look in to the fan issue, when I put it back together.
I probably have to get a new fan anyways.
Right now is cleanup time.
I took the instrument completely apart now and started with the display and front cover.
All cleaned up now, looks like new - kind of.
Next is to clean the PCB in alcohol.
EPTech:
Hi there,
If the fan has died somewhere along the way, you should check the condition of the input cap but most certainly the low ESR output caps on the SMPS. I would just replace them by default, that may already fix the problem. I am not affiliated to any brand but I would recommend the FC, FM or FK series from Panasonic. Also check the high ohm resistors.
Does the supply work without load attached?

Thanks EPTech
The PSU is sitting in alcohol right now since it was so full of dirt, some components were not visible.
I wanted to clean it, before I would test without load.
The corrosion on the frame is removed with a rotating steel brush but it was already deep in to the metal, even after cleaning it looked horrible.
So, I decided to cover this area of the frame with some paint.
And it seems to turned out alright.
