• Repair Tektronix TDS 520

    Hello everyone, I would like to tell you about the error.
    
    The oscilloscope can be switched on, the fan is running and the 
    Key lighting stays on permanently. On the A11 DRAM 
    Processor/Display Board number 8 lights up on the segment display.
    
    The device had a problem with all SMD capacitors. Partial are 
    she expired. Then I replaced all the capacitors and the 
    Circuit boards thoroughly cleaned.
    
    Unfortunately, this action did not fix the error.
    
    I then started troubleshooting using the service instructions.
    
    Here are the links to it:

    Volume 2:
    https://w140.com/tekwiki/images/4/48/070-8313-00.pdf
    
    I carried out the diagnosis on Volume 1, page 187. The fan is running
    and after approx 30 seconds the key illumination does NOT go out. Thereupon 
    According to the instructions, I troubleshooted the processor/front panel 
    procedure (Volume 1 page 195).
    
    I checked all the required voltages on connector J2. The 
    are all OK. The clock signal (3.125Mhz) is also present.
    
    According to the instructions, the communication link is between the A11 
    Display/processor board and the A12 front module faulty. The A12 
    Front module is most likely defective and should be replaced 
    become.
    
    There are a lot of troubleshooting instructions described in volume 2 but I think 
    Unfortunately not one that applies to me. I think there are missing too 
    a few pages.
    
    
    Nevertheless, I have part of the processor on the A12 board 
    measured (Volume 2 page 218). Unfortunately the 3rd page is missing there.
    
    I noticed that there was no 2Khz signal on pin 2 of the processor (U1). 
    applied. This means there is no 1Khz square wave signal to set 
    probe. The operating voltages according to the circuit diagram are all on 
    processor on. The clock signal from the A11 board is also present.
    
    Does anyone have an idea what this could be?
    
    I wish everyone a merry Christmas!
