Hi!
I am trying to repair Tektronix TDS 540 (with no A).
Mostly successful, but cannot figure out the last(?) problem:
Fully recapped and cleaned the boards in the process.
Desoldered DS1245Y-120 NVRAM, backed up in a programmer, soldered a socket, put the NVRAM into the socket.
Now it shows only one error: "FAIL ++ Processor", but seems to work fine. Passes SPC and other tests.
Seems to show all waveforms just fine. I don't see any problem with that.
After clearing the error log (using a GPIB command) and rebooting, two lines show up in the error log:
SEVERE INTERNAL ERROR diagnostic test failure pu_diag sequence
SEVERE INTERNAL ERROR diagnostic test failure extended cal librarian reset
I don't think this model has a calibration EEPROM on the acquisition board. Everything must be in the NVRAM. Is it possible that nothing is wrong with the hardware, and this is just a matter of clearing some error condition in the NVRAM?
Does anyone have a working dump of the NVRAM for this model? Firmware v1.10e
I would appreciate any help very much.
