Hi all,
I've got a Tek TDS-210 DSO that gave up on me last Sunday. I bought it
on eBay for ~$700 2.5 years ago and it's worked great until Sunday. I
was using it Saturday night and when I woke up Sunday and went to use it
I get a blank display. The LCD backlight comes on but no display. I get
a 5kHz wave from the probe comp connections according to my DMM.
So, is this common? Anyone heard of it or have any ideas of what might
be wrong. Tek wants $575 to repair and there's just no way I can do
that. I'm guessing the display has just given up the ghost on me but
where to find a replacement?
Guessing is expensive. You need the manual, and do some
troubleshooting. You can buy a junker on Ebay and take your chances, or
check with other repair centers. I know Gerry Dorrin, the owner of MDS
labs in Ft Walton Beach, Fl. but it has been over ten years since I
visited his lab. When I did, I was impressed, and that isn't easy to
do. That model is obsolete, so Tektronix will only support it, till
they run out of spare modules.
