Check the Main Board
If you want to remove the main board from the metal shelf inside the
oscilloscope, you’d better place it on a clean, insulated mat after removing. In
addition, to avoid some chips or components on the main board being
damaged for overheating, please cool the main board whenever possible using
a fan. Here are procedures for testing the main board:
1. Several kinds of connectors including Fan Connector, LCD Connector,
Keyboard Connector, back USB Connector and Connector for LAN are
located on the main board. Check if they are connected properly.
2. Make sure that the connectors on the main board are connected properly
firstly, then connect the power supply module cable to appointed place on
the main board, lastly connect the oscilloscope power cord. Turn on the
oscilloscope to check whether the voltage values at test points are within
spec range using a digital multimeter. The voltage parameters to be tested
are listed in table below:

If there is at least one voltage value tested beyond the spec range, please
turn off the oscilloscope and cut the power immediately to avoid damage to
the chips or even the main board due to abnormal working.
As a result, you
need to replace a new main board.
If each voltage value tested is within the spec range, please go to the next
step.
3. Check if the clock of the main board can work normally using an
oscilloscope. Focus at the test point marked with “30M Clock” on the main
board drawing.
If the clock measurement is not 30M, then the failure may come from the
main board, a new one is required necessary.
If the clock measurement is 30M with abnormal working of the main board,
you need to return the oscilloscope to manufacturer to have it repaired by
qualified personnel.
