Tektronix TDS210
I have a Tektronix TDS210 that powers up, the bakclight and the display seem
to work, but I dont get anything on the display. I got this from work and it was given to me because it is said to be unecconomical to repair. The calibration place said it needs a new board (I assume the mainboard) and it would be about 600.00. I don't have another scope to check it out with but was wondering if anyone has seen the same problem and might know what would fix it (component level). I don't have a schematic for it either but that would help too if someone knows where to find one. Thanks |

AFAIK,TEK never published schematics for -any- of the TDS series scopes,- except IIRC,the TDS300s for the US Military,under terms of a purchase contract,with a USMil Tech Order(T.O.) part number,no TEK p/n. The TDS series were intended to be module-exchange or "repair and return" of assemblies only.(with a good chance your assembly gets lost!) I'm not certain the TDS200 series is still under support,either. I believe not. www.tek.com will tell you,under "long term product support". -- Jim Yanik jyanik at kua.net |

Sounds like you may have access to more scopes of the same make and model.
If so, comparison (using a third scope for checking) is straightforward. Check power supplies and crystals. And above all, check for loose connections, broken traces, broken solder joints, etc. |
