Re: TDS3044B repair

Hello All,

I finally had time to get back to fixing the TDS3044B with no display.   The problem turned out to be a bad solder joint on a surface mount choke that supplied Vcc to the display.  The crack was so small it could barely been seen on a microscope.  So, the problem was not the display.  For those that need a display for a TDS3000B, the real part number is NEC NL6448BC20-08E.  The other thing that was helpful in troubleshooting the display was a Hirose connector part number DF9A-31P.  This gave me some more room to probe the display connections on the main board.  Now I need to find the hub bits that hold the handle on the scope.  If someone knows where to get those please let me know.

Hi Dave,

If you look at this video https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_gvjmKHN4Y__;!b9GWhakWANQ!wEpfxjysOXjFgv3ZjJzwPT00sPf81J7-h9F-OyCNJMU1-f5Y3AG4Mbyun-yU$ it shows a part number on the back of the display as 65BLM04 and on the front of the display the tag says NL6448BC20-08.  If you search each of these part numbers on ebay, the price is very different when they are actually the same part.   The cheapest price I could find for the 65BLM05 is $158.74 (used), while the cheapest price for the NL6448BC20-08 is $88 for a new part. These appear to be exactly the same part.  Any idea if there is any difference?

Looks like a perfect solution for the NEC on the TDS3000 series and in the
NEC 65BLM05 Display (virtually the same display as the one TEK uses) in the
instruments I do a lot of work on.

Unlike the video, I would not remove the paper exposing the glue when
installing the strips.  I don't want those LED strips permanently in my
LCDs in case they fail.
