Hello,
I have finally decided to get a CMU200, at least as an upgrade for my oooold spectrum analyzer. So I have found a good deal, unit seemingly in a very good shape... only to find a month later, post monkeys played football with it.
Long story short: Unit was dropped hard on a corner (near the power switch), does not even power on. Chassis is deformed on the left side.
After further inspection and disassembly, I have found a sheared PCB in the computer module. And lot of other stuff one doesn't want to see: electrolytic cap(s?) that spilled their guts, overheated BGA chips and fans seized so hard you can barely spin them by hand - even though there seems to be little to no dust inside the unit.
See photos below of the damage. Main PCB of the computer module has sheared near the mounting point, inner layer traces more than likely severed. I do not think this would be an easy to repair if possible at all.
The question now is, can one get anywhere just the PC module to replace? I have searched ebay for these, found none for sale. Not sure if my search buzzwords were weak, or they are simply not available. I have tried even searching the part number printed on it, which I think is 1090.9244.24.
Can anyone point me please to where I could probably get a replacement PC for it? (Hoping the only electrical damage so far is just the PC).
Many thanks,
Yansi
