Unplug these scopes from the power socket when not in use, the power supplies on these models are notorious for burning up the main filter capacitor as they have 4 2W resistors right beneath the DC filter cap on the smps, over a period of time this cap dries out and the power supply goes up in smoke and costs over 1000 GBP. Good option is to replace the capacitor perodically say 2 years cycle.
I wouldn’t say ‘over the moon’ since I didn’t expect a firmware failure on a quality scope. I am pleased I got it fixed for free though not sure how long it will last. Thank you for your comments.
Yeah, the high-end companies can really be dirtbags when it comes to wanting a bunch of money just to help you out with something simple. I try to stay with legacy-equipment that already has the capabilities I need. Wait till they discover the ‘subscriber-model’- LOL 😢

Just discovered your channel you have a lot of really great videos; I’ve been getting into pic micro processors, so I am very interested to look into your catalog. So thank you for providing your channel and your videos!
@@SpinStar1956 Wow, thank you for the additional information on commercial buying vs end user and a big thank you for the feedback on my videos. I do love using Pic micro-controllers, I’ve completed a few big projects including my own fast fonts, external bus interface with 1 meg of sd ram and finally the Pic32 with an Epson driver, the latter having alpha blending. What IDE are you using? Thank you again for your comments.😁
i need your help SMM02070C2208FBP00 resistor melf can i use anything else 2.2 ohm 1% 1w , £34 for 10 plus del or a 100 for £32 plus del , seems extreme for a 30p resistor

The viewer were the suport . Great job Keysight .......
Yes indeed.
Thank you for your comments.
Thanks for sharing this interesting information in updating Digital Oscilloscope
You're welcom Elmer.
Thank you for your comments.
Very nice & interesting video @John B, i'm always watching.
Thank you Courtney, always good to hear from you.
Nice one i gota get a new scope my old Rigol is out of date but that was over 4k with all licenses..
Thanks Steve.
4K for a Rigol, wow that’s more than this Keysight at current prices.
@@JohnB-2021 i did get several differential probes plus 16ch digital harness max bandwidth its a good scope i just want somat with bigger display
