I don't know if this helps at all, but the 2040 is a PCL-5e printer. Vince. -- Michigan VHF Corp. http://www.nobucks.net/ http://www.CDupe.com/ http://www.foggymist.com The Foggy

My TDS784D does this as well. I recapped the CRT driver board, which alleviated this for a spell. I was in email contact with another TDS owner who found that in his case it was due to degradation of

Hi Ed, I have a number of those HV assemblies lying around from doing conversions to LCDs They were converted as the CRTs were too dim for resale. I've been slowly unloading them on Ebay, but they're

It can never hurt to open it up and have a look. Except in those cases where you damage something in the process of course. ;-) Even if there is nothing to be found at the very least it will give you

According to the user manual, it looks like the HL-2040 only supports GDI. The 2070N supports PCL, Epson FX-850 and IBM Proprinter XL emulation. See pages 2-1, 2-17, A-2 and

I'm not sure if this will help, but I have a HL-2070N which is the same basic printer as the HL-2040 but it also has a network interface. The default mode for the 2070N is the Epson FX-850 but it can

Thanks Al, I tried the laserjet and almost every other one too, but it didn't work with the Brother HL-2040. I'm wondering if maybe the printer's communication and format settings can be changed

Now I'm getting paranoid - I just remembered that lately the 754A display sometimes has slight flickering in the display shortly after power-up, and then would be OK after warming up a bit. I hope

Ed: I have a TDS 544A and it has a centronics parallel port. I have used it with several printers that use the standard HP PCL language. Set the printer options to output to the centronics port and

Yes, the sockets can cause much more grief in terms of diagnosis and repair. I was thinking more in terms of frequency of occurrence - I've seen way more stories about bad caps, although perhaps

I would actually rank the TI sockets as a larger problem than tantalum capacitors. The capacitors unambiguously fail and are relatively easy to find and replace. The sockets become intermittent with

I have never encountered this problem with silver or these TI ICs of which I have lots but I have with thick gold. I assume the leads are FeNi42 which was a common lead frame material in the past and

In a nutshell, there is something seriously galvanically and/or metallurgically wrong with those TI IC leads with Ag plating. Over time, and depending on the environment, the bond between the Ag

Hi all. The 7834 transformer has been running for a couple of days now and appears to be OK. I just thought I'd post some details. The first attempt blew through the windings. One of the issues with

The problems with TI sockets and ICs with silver plated leads are well known, and have been discussed here a number of times over the years. Unfortunately, Tek used a helluva lot of them in many of

The old caps are gone, the board's washed, and it's all back together except the display is disconnected. I have it running now for another burn-in to dry out any residual moisture. BTW it seems to
