Hi,
This scope we don´t want to repair because only for having a first look on it, lecroy want to have more than 2 sds2104x+ will cost together..
But I take a look...
So what´s wrong ?
First it seems nothing, you can power it on ( looooong boot time...) and it´s doing what you expect it should do.
But sometimes or better more and more, after booting one or both channels are "freaking out".
The "noise" are filling the whole screen then, regardless of the voltage/div or if you switch to GND.
I´ve got a feeling this is more than simple contact problems because:
Example from a hour ago, Ch1 is noisy as described so I swithed it off, turn ch2 on.
It shows a distorted waveform(bodnar connected) which becomes clear when you switch the "noisy" ch1 on...
But in this scenario scope won´t do measures, the values are randomly.
So....
Turn it off.
Then on again and if you have luck, everything is fine....
This would be an interesting project to find out what´s going on, I´ll report it here step by step.
But if anyone here got the same issue before or knows from it, tell it here....
Want to fix it, it´s a nice scope to have together with my 12-bit.
But as I said above, this sounds not easy...But that would be a little bit boring when not.
