Hi!
I got my hands on a LeCroy LT264M that have spent the last 8-10 years in a semi open shipping container exposed to the elements
![Shocked :o](https://www.eevblog.com/forum/Smileys/default/shocked.gif)
All the other equipement i found in this container seems to be working ok, but the scope has some problems powering on. Fan turns on and standby led light ignites then i press the power button, but the display does not turn on. If i turn it off and try to turn it on after 5+ minutes, the screen turns white for a second before turning off and again getting stuck on the standby led.
From what i can tell the standby light indicates start of self test. I guess it does not pass the self test and gets stuck.
It did start one time, but i have not been able to reproduce this. When it started, i was able to run a test on all the channels to ensure that they where working ok. Everything was working ok. Except for the fact that the next time i tried to turn it on, it gave the same short white flash on the screen and stuck on standby led.
I have opened the unit up and it looks mostly ok without any obvious signs of damage or black spots. I have measured all the voltage rails and they looks to be ok both on the CPU board and the main acquisition board. Tried reseating all the ribbons and connectors, including the flash card and SD-RAM.
I have a feeling that the issue is on the CPU board, but i have not been able to pinpoint it yet
I have focused my main efforts on this circuit that should control voltage to the display, picture attached.
From what i can see, the service manual for this unit does not contain a schematic for the CPU board. I found the schematic for the CPU board on the waverunner 1, but it seems like the VGA circuitry for power to the display is slightly different on the waverunner 2 series. I have however identified that Q10 (and Q21) does turn on for a fraction of a second when i hit the power button, before turning off again. I have however not been able to identify where the signals to turn on and off Q10 comes from, it does not go to the IC86 as on the waverunner 1 schematic.
Anyone have any experience with this scope or perhaps have any ideas where to look next ? Is there any way to bypass the self test or find out what step in the self test it fails on ?
