Hi feedback.loop!
my beloved Scopemeter 196c quit on me. The infamous "just beeps won't turn on"

Thanks to Fluke's fine Service-Manual I was able to query the scope via the Universal Host Mask software. here are the results:

Looks to me, that I have a bad A1 module

If I remove the A1 Module, I get the same results. Is this to be expected?
Opon visual inspection I could not see any obvious defects on the module.
Tried to reflow it gently with the hotair soldering station, no luck.
Further Internet research broght me to your terrific YouTube video where you rebuilt such a memory module.
Is this module RAM only or is there also stuff stored (ROM) on it? If stuff is stored on it, what type is it? Firmware, Calibration data?
I would love to get my Scope back running again. Could you send me a memory module? All expenses and a tip are paid of course!
Feel free to PM me.
Cheers Satmaster
