Rigol MSO 5000 hardware/software revisions
NoisyBoy:
Noisy fan and dim screen are the two known early hardware problems. Unfortunately, if you have a 1.00, it still is 1.00 after the fix, Martin72 had been through that, and Rigol will not tell you what they changed. That’s the frustrating part with Rigol.
If you have 1.01, you know you have the latest. If you have 1.00, you don’t know what you have. You have to call Rigol and give them the serial number to see if they can tell you, it is very 1980’s.

I turned it on again and played with the screen brightness, it's still pretty dim :( The odd bit seems to be that the brightness control only changes the actual trace area, the surrounding menu and axes stuff seems to be stuck on the initial brightness.
Also the fan seems a little noisy but I have high frequency hearing loss.
Both these things are somewhat subjective without calibrated test equipment to measure brightness and sound level but I am going to fight this; I'm not going to be palmed off with NOS.

Mine was bought on octomber 2019 (Batterfly - Europe) with HW version 01.00.000 but with lighter screen and lower speed fan. Brightness control indeed modify only signal trace, not the elements of UI .
Gandalf_Sr:
So hardware vn 01.00.000 but with improved brightness and quieter fan, right?
NoisyBoy:
You are right about brightness, the backlight is fixed, so there is no way to adjust the UI brightness. A year ago, I had suggested that changing the UI color could help the low nit screen to be more visible. It is just poor color choice for the quality of screen they have.
NoisyBoy:
You referring to 1.01? Rigol never disclosed what they changed. But fan and dim screen is part of it.
