My "spare" 2430 scope seems to have lost it's memory battery, at
least that's the message I get on power up from the extended
diagnostics routine. Alex at "oscilloscopes at aol.com" who repairs
mostly the 2440 series (that's the unit currently on my bench) tells
me that he has rarely seen the actual lithium battery fail, but more
often it's in the circuitry that monitors the voltage for the
diagnostic. I haven't opened it up yet to check the actual voltage
but just in case does anyone know of a suitable 3.5V lithium
replacement if in the event is something so simple as just the battery?
Of course you can still use the scope but it doesn't retain setups
and as I recall also degrades the calibration....all of which are
livable but not desirable.
Thanks in advance!
