I’ve read somewhere, maybe TekWiki, that when working on these digital/analog “hybrid” scopes, you could fry a chip within a few minutes if it’s open and not properly cooled. I don’t know if this applies here though.
Stephen,
Yes, I have a 2440 and that is one of the scopes that must be constantly cooled to prevent overheating of the A/D Converters and the CCD Hybrids. I think that Martin makes a good point, even if the problem might be less catastrophic on the AWG series. That noisy fan is there for a reason.
