Since about 6 month I have the Keysight E36103A.
This one has 1 mA and 1 mV resolution and also works really well.

But this morning I was glad they come with a 3 year warranty, because it is not working anymore.
And since all of these new PSUs will not have a schematic anymore, what do we do, when they are outside their 3 year warranty. Then, a repair is not so easy anymore. But that is true for all brands.

The E36102A just sits at 463mA although nothing is hooked up.

Yesterday I've requested a quotation. Oddly enough I didn't get an immediate response in the e-mail. It also turns out there is a special offer where your get a U1242 handheld DMM for free with many types of equipment (including these power supplies). It's not that I need a new DMM so I'll see what room there is to haggle a bit.

That is very disappointing.  You would think in 2017 a power supply would be bullet proof.  With all the documentation and schemic to go with it.

Is it me?  Or is everything going backwards in quality and reliability.  Just yesterday I was using my Dynaco ST70 tube amp and was laughing at the various better and newer amps that won't power up or have their circuit boards dead.

That ST70 just keeps playing and keeps on going.    I had zero problems with it.

Anyone else notice that all the new test equipment these days, you are scared to even turn it on because it will break?

You walk by a new power supply these days and the electrical charge from your stare will send the moffets to magic smoke land.

You spend more time managing your equipment warranties and breakage, than learning or experimenting with new things in electronics.

Look up "survivorship bias" Dwaine.

Just recently got E36312A and tried it a few days in the row, couple times it became unresponsive at all  :-//, you cannot either switch it off  :palm:
workaround - unplug the main cable  :-+
