My office has a 34970A that fails self-test with error 606, Rundown gain out of range:

"This test checks the nominal gain between the integrating ADC and the A1U205 on-chip ADC. The nominal gain is check to ±10% tolerance."

The same 606 could be reported on a 34401A (the guts of which make up the core of the 34970A as I understand it):
"This test checks the nominal gain between the integrating ADC and the U500 onchip ADC. The nominal gain is checked to ±10% tolerance."

Anyone have ideas on how fixable this might be?  What would this kind of failure show up as in measurements?

Did you have any luck with this one?? I have been seeing a few 34970 coming up for sale with the same error. Not sure if it is worth buying them or not.

Rundown gain is typically a prblem in the current switching hybrid. 150$ a pop ...

free_electron - please help me avoid the curse of the Wisdom of the Ancients (https://xkcd.com/979/) by offering me a little more information...

Could you clarify which component on which board is the "current switching hybrid" ?  The service guide for the 34970A has schematics and is at https://www.keysight.com/main/gated.jspx?lb=1&gatedId=258467&cc=US&lc=eng&parentContId=1000001313:epsg:pro&parentContType=pt&parentNid=-33261.536881544&fileType=VIEWABLE .

Based on your replies at https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/got-myself-an-agilent-34401a-with-a-label-%27not-working%27-on-it/ , is it the "1NB4-5035" "CUST R NET PKG" loaded at U102?

Are there places to order the hybrid at places besides Keysight's' find-a-part at www.keysight.com/my/faces/fapHomePage.jspx ?

Just fixed one 34970A with 606 self-test error by replacing P100 ribbon cable.

Google service note 34970A-14C for more information.

I have repaired a 606 error failure of an Agilent 34401 multimeter. After replacing u420 and u402, it is ok.

What you repaired seems to be a 34401A and not a 34970A

There are 3 kinds of people in this world, those who can count and those who can not.

Yes, it is 34401A. Others say it has many parts the same as 34970A.

Can you confirm you replaced two ICs, AD711 and OP27 ?

As seen here in the 34970A:
