Troubleshooting The service strategy for troubleshooting Keysight Technologies 9000 Series oscilloscopes is to isolate problems to a faulty assembly, then use the disassembly and assembly procedures in the “Replacing Assemblies” chapter to replace the defective assembly. Safety Read the Safety Notices at the back of this manual before servicing the oscilloscope. Before performing any procedure, review it for cautions and warnings.
Chapter 4: Troubleshooting To troubleshoot the oscilloscope To troubleshoot the oscilloscope The primary procedural tool in this section is the Primary Trouble Isolation section. This section refers to sections in this chapter where the procedures are described in detail. If you are unfamiliar with this oscilloscope, start with the Primary Trouble Isolation section.
Chapter 4: Troubleshooting Primary Trouble Isolation Primary Trouble Isolation Perform power-up. Connect the oscilloscope power cord and press the power button in the lower left corner of the front panel. If the oscilloscope is working properly, it will take several minutes to start up, and the graticule will appear on the screen.
Page 57
Chapter 4: Troubleshooting Primary Trouble Isolation 2 If the oscilloscope shuts down without you pressing the front panel power button, unplug the AC power cord from the rear of the instrument and wait 20 to 30 seconds. Then plug the AC power cord back into the oscilloscope and press the front panel power button (or you can perform a hard shutdown by holding the power button down for 5-6 second so the power turns off and then pressing the power button again to restart the oscilloscope).
Page 58
Chapter 4: Troubleshooting Primary Trouble Isolation Figure 4 When you push a key or turn a knob in both directions, the corresponding symbol on this screen turns green. Knob and Key Self Test Screen 3 Press each key on the keyboard until you have pressed all keys. 4 When you press a key/knob, the bar above the corresponding key/knob symbol on the display should change from red to green.
Page 59
Chapter 4: Troubleshooting Primary Trouble Isolation Figure 5 LED Test Screen 3 Repeatedly push the Single button on the front panel to step through and highlight each LED symbol in the test screen. You can also step through the LEDs by clicking the [Prev] or [Next] buttons on the display screen.
Chapter 4: Troubleshooting Power Supply Trouble Isolation Power Supply Trouble Isolation W A R N I N G SHOCK HAZARD! Only trained service personnel who are aware of the hazards involved should perform the maintenance. Read the safety summary at the back of this book before proceeding. Failure to observe safety precautions may result in electric shock.
Page 61
Chapter 4: Troubleshooting How to Use the Power Fault LEDs How to Use the Power Fault LEDs The previous page showed where to look through the rear fan slots to see the upper right corner of the acquisition board. A series of 13 LEDs is separated into three sections of four LEDs each, with the Over Temperature LED by itself at the bottom (as shown in Figure 6).
Page 62
Chapter 4: Troubleshooting How to Use the Power Fault LEDs group. Remember these are the LEDs that specify the type of failure that occurred. The fault types are described below the table. Fault Type LED1 LED2 Sequence Reset Command External The following table then shows how to decode the bottom two LEDs in each group (LEDs 3 and 4).
Page 63
Chapter 4: Troubleshooting How to Use the Power Fault LEDs Sequencer 3 Input Supply -12V Bulk -6 V -5.2 V -3.8 V When a fault occurs on a given sequencer, it notifies the other two using the Fault signal. The other two sequencers report this as an External Fault as well.
Page 64
Chapter 4: Troubleshooting How to Use the Power Fault LEDs Please read the paragraph directly below as it discusses that a fault on one sequencer causes LEDs corresponding to other sequencers to illuminate. This is important to understand before proceeding so you know which LED is actually the root of the problem.
Chapter 4: Troubleshooting To check the backlight inverter voltages To check the backlight inverter voltages The backlight inverter board is accessed by opening the front chassis as described in the “Replacing Assemblies” chapter. Below is a picture showing what the inverter board looks like (this picture is of the back of the front chassis - the display is on the other side of this piece).
Chapter 4: Troubleshooting To check the display board video signals To check the display board video signals The video signals are checked on the 32-pin connector on the display board. You can use an oscilloscope with a bandwidth of at least 100 MHz to verify the signals. Even-numbered pins are closest to the PC board.

Does display Replace appear on motherboard external monitor? Check display cable front panel connection to display card black? and LCD...
Page 69
Chapter 4: Troubleshooting Front Panel Display Trouble Isolation W A R N I N G SHOCK HAZARD! The backlight inverter assembly, which is mounted at the front corner of the oscilloscope near the flat- panel display, operates at 1.65 kV at turn on. DO NOT handle this assembly while it is in operation. An LED on the inverter board illuminates to indicate the presence of high voltage.
Chapter 4: Troubleshooting Front Panel Trouble Isolation Front Panel Trouble Isolation Front Panel Trouble Isolation Follow the keyboard troubleshooting guide for just the power button. Go to “Primary Trouble Isolation”.
Chapter 4: Troubleshooting Motherboard Verification Motherboard Verification If you have been through the Power Supply Trouble Isolation section of this chapter and the oscilloscope still does not stay powered up, the problem may be with the motherboard.
Page 72
Chapter 4: Troubleshooting To set up the BIOS To set up the BIOS If the BIOS settings become corrupt, the Infiniium oscilloscope PC motherboard will not recognize the hard drive and the oscilloscope may not start up. To configure the motherboard BIOS parameters to the default settings, follow these steps: Connect the power cable to the oscilloscope.
Page 73
Chapter 4: Troubleshooting Acquisition Board Trouble Isolation - Scope Self Tests Acquisition Board Trouble Isolation - Scope Self Tests If an acquisition board has been removed by a prior procedure, reinstall it. Power up the oscilloscope and then go under Utilities > Self Test. Select the Scope Self Test option from the Self Test pull-down menu and then press the Start Test button.

Chapter 4: Troubleshooting Keyboard Trouble Isolation Procedure Keyboard Trouble Isolation Procedure Use this procedure only if you encounter key failures in the keyboard self test procedure. If any knobs fail, replace the keyboard assembly. Disconnect the power cord and remove the cover. 2 Remove the front panel assembly.
Chapter 4: Troubleshooting To check the LEDs To check the LEDs If any of the LEDs are not working on the front panel, the first step is to trouble shoot the acquisition assembly to make sure it is working. If it is working then replace the keyboard assembly and see if the LEDs will illuminate.
