Hate to go through shipping and send it back just to find out that no improvement is required. --- End quote --- Believe me, when you actually don´t hear your fan ( or nearly not), you got the actual version - my MSO5 was from 11/2018 and really noisy…. 8) Not so nice : The unit heats up, more than before - Ask them tomorrow if this is critical for lifetime/accuracy at all. I hope, before they done the mods, they´ll calculated with this temperature. --- Quote ---We all *assume* that hacking the firmware voids the warranty. Has Rigol actually said that it does or refused service because somebody hacked a scope? --- End quote --- Don´t know, I did a "downgrade" before sending it to them for the mods. But maybe this could have no purpose because: https://www.eevblog.com/forum/blog/new-rigol-scope/msg2545293/#msg2545293 They tried to read mine out (but couldn´t ). By the way, could anyone reproduce it ? |

I think the equipment wouldn't pass a thorough forensic analysis, regarding downgrades/rollbacks. Nonetheless, doing a full NAND+FRAM restoration (which is possible through software) and a few trail cleaning should make things almost impossible to discover. But, I don't believe Rigol ever goes to such effort or even developed a tool do that forensic study as it has a practical zero interest in it. That's a manufacture company, not a CSI lab. I bet if they don't see nothing on the online reporting (for those that connect to the net) and if the machine files/licenses looks as stock, they won't raise problems. |

Hi Back in the day .... If you did something that damaged the gear or kept it from doing what it should, Tektronix would not reverse that for free. If whatever you had done left the equipment working OK, then they could care less. While I don't *know* that is Rigol's policy, it seems like a pretty rational approach. It's certainly way easier / cheaper / quicker than getting into all sorts of fights with your customers. Bob |

If you done things which cause a defect, it´s your problem and not a case of warranty. It´s itching in my fingers to do some mods on my MSO5, like other display and other fan...the void sticker could be easily remove without a damage. Hm-hm..... |

In fact almost any other bench instrument I have is noisier than the Rigol. When you say "or nearly not" what dB level are we talking about? You know we are talking about measurements here, we want precision! :D |
