hi!
firts of all, as it is my firts post, thanks in advance for the help. and sorry for de english.
I have a GwINSTAKE GDS-1062A digital oscilloscope in the office. The other day, the oscilloscope was on but with both probes disconnected, when a coworker set up a tea in the microwave. In the same moment that the microwave ended its cycle, the 250V@1A fuse of the oscilloscope blew.
I supposed that it was due to a transitory high current/voltage in the power line; so I changed it for another and when I turned it on, it blew again.
I am about to disarm it and check the power source, but first I wanted to ask you if you have any tips of were to find. Maybe there is a cap that tends to fail and shortcircuit something.
of course I have searched and couldn't find a schematic.
thanks for the help!
