hp 3325b the repair from hell and full calibration
« on: April 06, 2023, 07:17:09 pm »
The story started on Sunday suddenly decided not to work no display.

 I opened the power supply A22 board and found a dead 6.2 volt zener diode. Looks like new.

 There is still no display. I did a diagnosis for the provider without load

 There were voltages 15 plus 15 minus 5 plus

 Strange. It took me a while to realize that the problem is in the standby circuit

 transistor.  npn q301 which is part of the standby start-up circuit was shorted.

 I didn't have exactly the same one in size to-92

 I had a c945 model which is close

 But the leg of the base is not in the middle.

 I twisted the small leg to the middle. I isolated me with a shrink nancy

 The provider went back to work with a bunch of errors.

 010

 026

 039

 013

 There was no voltage the device output correctly did not receive negative voltage with error 010

 The frequencies were shocking, nothing wrong, it registers 2 volts and comes out 7

 Writing minus 5 volts outputs 2.4 volts.

 In short, the generator was seriously ill.

 It took me another day to realize that the problem was in the doubt

 a 15 microfarad 20 volt tantalum resistor to die in such a way that I thought a cockroch was electrocuted in the device.

 I did thinking it can't towards.

 I understood that a single cable from the power supply transfers minus 15 volts in a single thin cable to the A14 board

 And actually the power supply broke down, the voltage was the unstable 24 volts from the track.  That fried the tantalum and 3 more resistors

 12 ohm

 3.9 ohm

 100 kilos

 In the area where the negative voltage was 15 volts to transistor Q209

 2 capacitors

 10 nanofarad ceramic changed to 10 nano np0

 15 microfarad tantalum was replaced with a 22 microfarad polymer

 3 resistors were replaced

 12 um which I measured exactly 12

 100 kilos too

 And 3.9 ohms that I didn't have, I created through 2 samples in parallel 5 ohms in parallel with 22 ohms

 which I physically measured 3.95 ohms

 I did point to point threading for everything and cleaned up.

 And the generator returned to full life

 I did full recalibrated the 3225

 

 And the generator is now as accurate as ever

Thanks for this extensive write-up.
I might have to work on one of these soon and this will certainly help me.
When it fits stop using the hammer
