Repair Siglent SDS1102DL

(1/9) > >>

Bigfoot:
Hello Folks,

I dabble in electronics and purchased a Siglent SDS1102DL DSO over a year ago  and now out of waranty. I've used it half a dozen times and  it's been sitting on the bench for at least 6 months unused. Anyhow I turned it on yesterday to use it and it booted up with the LCD screen reversed left to right ,flickering and snowy. The buttons all work and it shows traces but everything is reversed such as text labels and menus. The menu even shows up on the left instead of the right of the screen. I stripped it down to check the ribbon cables but found nothing wrong.

Would any of you kind folk have a clue? I will try a firmware upgrage before I drop kick it into the dumpster.

Cheers,
Bigfoot.

:-DD :-DD :-DD

However, DON'T DO THAT!!

For something that has received such little use tends to make me think that it could just need a firmware upgrade. Also, there are Siglent aficionado's (distributors) present on this forum so I am sure they will chime in and offer you some sound advice.

Edit: The Siglent distributor for NZ who is active on this forum goes by the name 'tautech'. So if you don't have any luck, shoot him a PM and see if he has come across this problem before.

If I remember right the firmware is in two parts (or was way back when) and that is to support the resellers (sold under many brandnames and that allows for branding). Sounds like that part the bit with the splash screen and font information is having the issue. When you upload the firmware you will need to make sure that both portions are installed. By default I don't think that they are, only the functions relating directly to the controls and such, not the font and layout.

No it's not, Siglent products have 3 years warranty.

Honestly your first contact should be your supplier or contact Siglent for your local distributor.

Post a photo please.

It doesn't sound like the .cfg file is the problem.  :-//

You must met a display problem, If you could remove the shell refer to the service manual http://siglentamerica.com/Uploadfile/file/20140925/SDS1000DL_ServiceManual_en.pdf, I suggest you to check the cable between the display and mother board.
