Thanks 'tinhead' and 'fqahmad66', for taking the time to post with some helpful suggestions
I've seen the schematics that A Hellene kindly put out there, and have read through all the excellent information that was shared on the topic. What a star they are for sharing that.
I think perhaps I'll post some screen shots of my DS1052E fault, and see if anyone has any suggestions.
Although, having seen and read what A Hellene went through, I don't think there is much hope for the scope at this point in time.
Fingers crossed though, one never knows.
I suspect that it is a hardware fault, and as such, I didn't want to try a firmware upgrade for fear of obliterating the thing altogether.
I'll post some screen shots of the thing in action when I get a moment.
Thanks again
