This subsection contains information and procedures to help you determine if a faulty power supply is the problem with your instrument. If replacing the power supply does not fix the fault, you will need to return the instrument to a Tektronix Service Center for repair, as no other internal electronic assemblies or modules are user-replaceable.
Maintenance Check for common problems Use the following table to help isolate possible failures. The table lists problems and possible causes. The list is not exhaustive, but it may help you eliminate a problem that is quick to fix, such as a loose power cord. Table 4: Failure symptoms and possible causes Symptom Possible cause(s)
