Title: Tektronix TDS754D diagnostic test failure, dsp68kInMemTest
Post by: wukiduki on June 10, 2018, 03:35:31 pm

hello!
Recently got a tds754d oscilloscope, the function looks normal, but the processor self-test cannot pass.
 I have cleaned the PCB, the problem still exists.
 Does anyone know which chip is related to this error?
 Need some help. :-BROKE

It could be a bad assumption, but since all the addresses tested get the same bit pattern wrong, I might suspect some memory address PCB traces could be corroded? I know that was a problem of many of these scopes. Electrolytic capacitors leaking and the following corrosion on the board itself.

Old questition, i know, but  it may be helpful for other people with search word "dsp68kInMemTest"

But, i want tell about this ERROR.

I got a TDS754C from israelite surplus shop.
This unit has same fail.

[attach=1]

Reason:  one of three bad  SRAM for   Tristar DSP
U870(middle below ), U871(middle upper, this is bad), U872 (upper).

BTW: dsp68kD1MemTest  = bad U1008 or U1009.

I got a 784A that did a similar thing and everyone was saying that it was one of the memory chips but I located it to some dry solder joints on one of the big arse QFP chips on the main acquisition board. Use a fine dentist tool and carefully pull on each leg of the QFP and see if it is firmly soldered to its pad.
