Hello,
My Rigol DS2102 has stopped booting. The power light strobes correctly and all front panel lights come on but the display shows nothing and the lights stay on.
I haven't used the scope in several months but have done the firmware upgrade process once. I don't remember if I left the scope in failed update state unfortunately, I don't think so. Today I noticed that there was a rattling inside of the scope and it is out of warranty so before powering it up I opened it, soldered in the mounting point that had broken loose, and reattached the heatsink clip. I do not believe that there was any ESD event or damage done during the repair.
I have tried to start a firmware update to 00.03.01.00.04 and to 00.02.01.00.03 but neither was successful. I have also tried the reset procedure so elegantly described by Rigol as press the power button and quickly press the sixth grey button on the left side of the screen multiple times. That too has had no effect.
Does anyone have any advice on steps to try? Is there a bootloader mode that I could see via USB or some header on the board? I don't have a blackfin JTAG, but do have a few other ones around that might work.
Many thanks
