Hi everyone
I have been given the Task to repair a TDS 8000. I'm an IT person btw.
So far i have replaced the cpu, upgrade to 512Mb and installed windows Xp . it seems the MB is the SU 810. Most drivers had been installed so far
I have read all the pages i could find on the web and this forum. The Tek scope application will hangs when launched , so i am getting a new battery for the power pc.
What is my next step to make sure the nvram is functional and power pc boots again. I am reading this page https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/tek-csa7404-repair-project/
but is confuse about how to get a serial connected and also load the proper powerpc firmware/booltlaoder
Thanks for your help. :)

Hi guys,
I've got a sick puppy (the harddisk is flapping about) of a CSA8200 (same family as TDS8000 series).
Can anyone point me in the right direction for the reinstall windows.... doesn't appear available from the tek site.
much appreciated!

This is an older post... though for the record :popcorn::
You can place the HD in a zip lock or sealed freezer bag and freeze then take out and backup and/or clone the drive to save time on re-installation. You can repeat this until you recover the data. Sure beats hunting down an exact board for the drive and replacing to recover the data... that is... if the board is bad.
If you want, you can perform error checking also.
I'm prepping to do this before I open the case of the TDS-8000B I purchased for a great deal and am hoping to restore to use as the "oscilloscope I don't want to use too much, since costs so much, though is my best scope." :D
