TDS3012B blank screen

<< < (3/3)

Hello AlcidePiR2,
I realize that it has been a couple of years, but did you make any further progress with you Tek scope?

I have a TDS3054B with *exactly* the same symptoms as yours. I have checked the power supply voltages etc and I also don't have a square wave test signal.

This scope was working, but hasn't been powered on for 3-4 years. When I went to use it again, it was dead (with the exception of the fan and screen backlight)
Best
Paul.

Hello AlcidePiR2,
I've progressed the diagnosis of my dead TDS3000 to where I think it might be the processor (either dead or broken BGA connection).
I have started a new thread dealing with that:

Well I know it has been nearly 2 years since I last posted on this thread, but I *finally* got around to removing/replacing the Motorola Processor BGA.
I replaced the chip with a new one purchased from Motorola/NXP

And.....drum roll.... **No Change** :-( :-(

Same symptoms, blank screen with white back light and fan running, no other activity

So after all this time, I think that was a 'red herring'

Hmmmm....

So, back to the drawing board so to speak

Check the bus, maybe there's somewhere a short between address/data pins. I recommend you inspect pins of memory chips with a microscope, check adjacent pins for shorts, and check the bus activity on all address and data pins.

was there a 25Mhz  oscillator diying  who could block the boot process ??
