 13 May 2007 12:15 Tektronix Oscilloscope TDS3000B at Start-up screen? |

Hi all
Does anyone have experience with Tek TDS3000B scope startup problems 
I power up the TDS3014B oscilloscope and it shows the start-up screen but it freezes at this point:
I tried firmware but floppie disk drive doesn't seem to start at any time.
It only flashes front leds once about 7 secs after power on and then square wave output for probe comp. becomes available. Nothing else happens...
Need help!

I have a TDS 3054B. It's somewhat similar.
Try skipping that first troubleshooting chart, and read some of the others. They mostly check connectors and power supplies. Maybe you'll get lucky.
Try removing any accessory modules or batteries that may be installed in the scope. Maybe one of them is jamming up the works.
Also try asking Tektronix. They are usually very helpful.

I will open it tonight. I think I will need care to...
I asked tek support recently, but they just say about fixing it for $1325 without any previous evaluation. It sounds a little expensive to take it as first option rather than asking for some help as I'm now.
It sounds interesting to check for loosen cables or modules. Last thing I remember was a little freezing while working with it without any abnormality and it started to have problems on next power-up.
