| The most common fault with dead backlights on TDS200 was/is not the tube but a shorted cap in the high voltage supply to the tube. |
| |
| Often it also took other components with it. On the power supply board, check Q2, Q3 and C24 close to the AC input. |
| |
| What labels would that be ? To open the scope use a screwdriver, with the handle folded down, insert it between the handle and cover and carefully twist it so the handle comes out of cover (on both sides). |
| |
| When done unscrew the two torx screws that were behind the handle. |
| |
| With the scope up side down pull the stand and the cover will come off. |
