TDS5054B SSD Swap-in Fail

<< < (4/5) > >>

"No, it's the MB that came with the scope - it's the Intel one listed.  I don't know if *all* of the "B" variants of the 5054 have the same MB - I thought not, but maybe I was thinking the "non-B" having a different MB.  It's - as far as i know - completely stock; other than changing out the HD/RAM/uPC all I did was to replace one leaking electrolytic cap near the SATA connectors."

Well the processor I ordered did not work, it's a ball grid type and the mother board is a 478 pin type.  I did not know.  $20 is all I'm out and seller says he will refund me even though I told him please don't it was my fault. 

I then found a P42.8GHz, Socket 478, with 400MHz FSB on Amazon, used, for $20.  I ordered it for try:

It is probably the same mommy board as yours.  To change that cap, you had to get the mother board out.  It is difficult to remover the back of the scope?  I found it a real bitch just to get the right side panel off and top to change the hard drive. LOL

Disassembling the thing was difficult until I finally decided to RTFM.  One thing that I ran into, though, was when removing the back panel with the MB on it, there are two metal pegs on the lower side that you have to lift the back panel's tab over to remove (and reinstall).  Oh, and remove a *lot* of screws.  It wound up being one of those things that involves a lot of head scratching the first time but afterwards it's all "Oh, that's easy and makes sense."

As for the caps, the only one I replaced had been leaking from the top and not, thankfully, from the bottom.  Computer MBs, for me, are high on the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" list for me.  On something like this scope I will open it up once a year or so, blow out the dust bunnies, give it a good visual inspection and leave well enough alone unless something appears wrong.

  Mine is running Win 2K SP4 on an Intel D865GLC MB with bios BF86510A.86A.0069.P21

Is your motherboard the one that the scope comes with? I wonder if I can upgrade the motherboard whole together.

HalFoster:
Yes, it was the original motherboard.  That being said, it is a TDS5054B-NV-AV scope which was a series made under a Navy procurement - whether or not the MB in it is different from a standard TDS5054B or not I don't know.  I am pretty sure it is different from the TDS5054 (non-B) scopes, though.  I would think, though, that the easiest - and no more expensive - option would be to just find one on the 'bay that already has the MB you are looking for.  If nothing else, get the SN and run it by Tek support - like everyone else right now they are running short handed and somewhat slow, but they *are* very helpful.

I got  TDS5054B-NV, i want save & clone HDD to  64GB SSD (64GB SLC SSD was  a gift from  work)

A Notice,  NV-variant, it means: You got a TDS5054B without touch.  I press on screen and it didn't work.
Display unit is  out of TDS5054B-NV and i found  partial unsoldered pcb on display, all touch-compoment is not on place. :palm:
