I had the misfortune to blow one of the Rigol RP3300A passive probe.
Thankfully the Rigol Oscilloscope is fine.
I saw in another post that the resistance measurement from the tip of the probe to the cable in the housing (where the compensation adjustment cap is) should be 9 Mohm.. In my case it was open circuit! I decided to take it apart with a small grinding wheel, to see what had happened inside the probe tip!
First the sheeting and the cable removed.. Note how the cable has a pin which is soldered to the coax wire and then it plugs into a female inside the metal probe..
The plastic taken off the probe tip..
The metal probe tip sliced apart.
On the left you can see where the pin from the coax cable attaches to a female to female connector.. The right one has a male on the left and at the right was the probe tip, which broke off..
You can see the resistors and capacitors through the transparent shielding of the probe tip..
The right most SMD (Resistor?) blown away..
The SMD has mostly disappeared!! No wonder there was open circuit..
Now I have to get myself a new one..
