Agilent 54835A scope (4 channel 1GHz / 4Gs/s) repair & uphack

Yay, I will join the club too :)
Just got a broken 54845A from my employer for free. It was working well and was even calibrated recently but then all channels started to show signal being over the vertical range and there was three FAIL's on self test and on that point the scope program just crashed. Original mouse, keyboard and mouse mat follows the scope.
Symptoms sounds pretty similar as in here:

With a bit of luck this could actually be fixed and then I have pretty impressive scope compared to what I have now :)

Good luck with it - If you need it I have the software hosted further up in the thread I think. If you can't find the link let me know and I'll repost.

K6-200 CPU, 16 MB of RAM, 1,3 GB HDD and Windows 95... You cannot get lower specs even if you tried I think :P
Most obvious things to upgrade, RAM and CPU? Will this unit run Windows 98 straight away?
Zucca:
JanNousiainen never turn it on, without taking it apart first. :-/O
Looks like you have some adventure in front of you with that scope, please keep us posted.
nctnico:
I'd fix/diagnose the problems first and then start thinking about upgrading.
I think you have an older model so you have to investigate what kind of processor and memory the motherboard will work with.
