  • I got this LeCroy WaveRunner 64Xi-A-N Oscilloscope from eBay because I needed a faster scope than my best 200Mhz Siglent model.
    On eBay it looked super clean and in good cosmetic shape, and was shown and claimed to be working. When I received it, it would kinda start up, but the display was blank and overall it was unresponsive. When I went to make this video showing the investigation, it powered right up! Strange.
    So I figured I'd just be replacing the RTC battery and upgrading the HDD to an SSD. Turns out it already had an SSD and a new battery. The problem was that it would reboot every time the USB ports were even slightly jostled.
    After getting the motherboard out (which is standard-ish mini ITX style), it turns out that the PCB is really badly warped. That's probably leading to cracked and/or damaged traces, possibly in internal layers. I'd wager that's the cause of the reboots.
    I posted this video more for posterity and in case anyone wanted to see an albeit slow teardown. Apologies for the rambly nature, but this really didn't go according to plan.

    I think that with the same or a similar board you could put the same application, configuration, and drivers on it and get this thing working. Nice video!

    it looks like a highly customized ITX board that comes with vendor-specific connectors. The hdd in my 640Zi was dead, I planned to take this chance to upgrade the mobo and cpu, but the connector to the data acquisition module is proprietary. So my conclusion is that, if you dont want to do a huge project, the best outcome would be a cpu upgrade(to e8400, q9300,etc) and a ssd replacement.
