21 passes, 5 failures on CH2, 14 failures on CH1, 2 failures on CH4. Ch4 now too, eh?
Not very conclusive, but the bulk of the failures shifted to CH1.
I'm beginning to think that one of the DACs may be at fault. The one thing that sticks out are the
findVibnullDac: failed to find good DAC value for HIGH
Which pretty much happens on every SPC run. They are 74 ball AD5516 16 channel DAC BGA devices, which I don't have the capability to replace.
The non-B suffix TDS5104 used IMP I10412-01 gull-wing DACs (Tek referred to them as daculators) which were also used in the TDS700 series scopes.
That would have been easy...
I'm debating about whether to replace the attenuator on CH1 now. I don't think it will fix the scope, but it might be interesting to see how the failures distribute themselves on a 3rd run. If it were an easy replacement, I'd do it. But these things are a
bitch to remove without breaking them. The ground and power planes are tough to clear. Also, on the component side of the board, the pins flare out and get soldered on the top of the pad itself. I had to use a small probe to break the pins free of the solder after clearing the hole with my Pace.
F*ck me...
I'll think about doing CH1 for a day or two.
