Well, my trusted Agilent DSO-X 2012A quit on me this morning after an hour of work. Darrn... in the middle of something of course. ![Wtf](https://cdn.badcaps-static.com/images/smilies/wtf.gif)
Called Agilent Tech Support and they were awesome in helping me to find a new one (Thanks bud R.R.!).![Biggrin](https://cdn.badcaps-static.com/images/smilies/biggrin.png)
Anyway... since that bean is already bad, why not open it and see if I can fix it? Sorry no pics this time around. However here is the fix:
* Fuse F1 blown 250V 6.3V mini
* Main filter capacitor dead short and hot as @#$%^! 420V 100uF
Took the main filter cap out, checked for other shorts or opens on the PSU and I didn't find any. Replaced the fuse and the main filter cap with parts out of my bin and all is O.k.
Happy ending at least. Back to work.![Spin](https://cdn.badcaps-static.com/images/smilies/spin.gif)
Cost: Zero $$$
