Tek TDS 540 problem
Hi
I just got a used Tektronix TDS 540 o'scope. I was advised that these had a huge problem with leaky caps. Before I had it, it was explained to me that the panel lights lit up, but the screen didn't show anything. In asking the owner of a repair shop what he'd recommend I do when I got it, he said to make sure the memory protect switch wasn't in the unprotect position. So, today I got the scope. Sure enough, there were panel lights on power-on, but no screen. (Indicentally, the front panel lights don't go off either). If I turn it off and then back on again really quick, you do see the screen do what an old B&W TV would do when turned off - there is a very momentary squiggle of a line as the high voltage dies, but otherwise no light. Any ideas are greatly appreciated! Thank you -Josh |
