Wow, firmware upload/boot from USB is mentioned in the thread. Where to obtain firmware for my scope? |

Other things to try is stuck buttons which may require removing the rubber button pad. You could compare your scopes power cycle to one on youtube etc to see exactly how far it's getting. See if the scope can be interfaced over network or USB, which means the software is partially running. When you do "flash erase" procedure the software reverts to Chinese, so if you can somehow try another "flash erase" or setting the "power set" condition to "default" instead of "last". After a power cycle it will wipe the configuration instead of trying to revert (possibly corrupt settings). Something to try anyway. |

Flashing a partly inoperable piece of equipment can cause it to die during the flashing process. So I'd just be interested to see if the other tests I mentioned make a difference or you get a response on screen from initiating a flash update. Which indicates it's more alive than you think. |

I have a DS1102E which I've never opened. However, I have been inside my Insteks to look around. Having repaired a Tek 465 and a Dumont 1060 the thing that struck me was how easy it was to sort out the circuitry when it's all on a single board. It's much harder with multiple boards stacked on top of each other. In fact, it seems to me that you could probably extract a schematic using photographs and a bit of AI. An emitter follower shouldn't be that hard to recognize. It may not be repairable economically, but there is certainly nothing to be lost if you are cautious. Of course, you *will* need another scope if it's anything more difficult than the PSU. I'd buy a new scope and treat this one as a repair project when I felt like messing with it. Or sell it to DC1MC who is looking for a dead unit for parts. |
