|    Scope keeps blowing fuses    |

      From: cd@notformail.com              Hi all,              So my main analogue scope, a Tek 2465A, has gone faulty. Keeps blowing       main fuses (the 2A one on the rear panel). I opened the case and found       two RIFA caps that had obviously blown, so replaced them, but it's       still blowing fuses. I can't be 100% certain, but I'm pretty sure       there's a fault with the PSU board as I get the briefest whiff of       burning from that area each time I put a new fuse in and power up. The       new fuse blows again before I get to see any smoke coming from       anywhere at all. I'm linking to a diagram of the PSU as I'm not       familiar with this circuit topology. If anyone can spot a component       here that could have gone low-resistance and might be a good candidate       for out-of-circuit testing, by all means let me know.       Thanks,              CD.                     https://disk.yandex.com/i/UhxATIy-6Y0LIA              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
