I already ordered another one from Batronix (DS instead of MSO, so I have to see how to compensate lost Logic Analyzer functionality) and this one is ready for auction for spare parts or maybe to put it in oven as Pinkus suggested.

Have you asked if Rigol  would let you upgrade a DS1104Z Plus to the MSO1104Z using your existing probes?  That's a $50 price uptick over the DS1104Z in the US.

I've asked for "new-for-old" swap but they are not offering that (actually this is "new-for-damaged" swap :)).

I had a black screen of death yesterday first time whilst. Was measuring some low Vpp simple 1Mhz Sine-Wave. Pressed the Single Trigger mode button and poofff: black screen.

Which leaves will the LA probe work in a Plus without hacking.

I  had a trashed screen appear a couple of times a few months ago.  Fortunately it has not reappeared, but I've not had the scope on much.

I have had repeated experience with solder flux residue causing faults in high humidity conditions.  Cleaning off the flux residue with isopropyl alcohol has solved the problem several times.  Flux is hygroscopic and as it absorbs moisture from the air it changes properties.  I first started seeing this when 3.3 V and lower logic started becoming common.   In the past I didn't have the tools to probe the problem so I just settled for cleaning.  It took two tries on my stereo, but it's worked fine for a couple of years since I did it.  Before I did it would fail to recognize that it had a disk because the disk  not spinning.

Before you open the box the new scope comes in you might find it useful to open up the old one and look for flux residue, particularly around the logic lines and if you find any,  clean it off with 99% IPA and a soft brush. 

My DS1102E is now out of warranty, so I'm going to take a look.

Well, the cadaver is now in my yard, waiting for dissection and frankestein-ization  >:D.

Many thanks to @prasimix that shipped the whole carcass to DE for a very reasonable price and to @rhb that remembered that I've got another Rigol body part, a mainboard from an 1104Z and let me know that the deceased from @prasimix is available  :-+ :-+ :-+.

I will keep this zombi thread alive for a while, starting with the first naive question:
What is the best way to open the case without denting it ?

 Cheers,
