I have a Tek 2235 scope (military version) on which I suddenly lost the A channel. I get a nice flatline trace for channel A. The B channel works fine.
I need to troubleshoot this but was looking for suggestions as to where to start. It went out quite suddenly (I was switching the test leads from from A to B and then back to A when it happened). I was wondering if the failure might have been induced by a static discharge.
If anyone knows of typical components in this scope that are likely to fail and cause this problem, I would appreciate hearing from you. Also, since I don't have a spare scope to troubleshoot with, if anyone has any suggestions as to how I should proceed with just a DVM, signal generator and other typical test equipment, I would appreciate it.
Thanks.
