The flea market TDS7104 booted up the first time I tried, with dim LCD screen, but failed with CMOS battery error the next time. You need to remove 29 screws to access the PC motherboard, but there’s a new battery now. After some Windows 2000 wrangling, the PC system is back to normal. The dim LCD was not because of faded CCFL backlight but because… the Windows gamma and brightness settings were wrong. I need to backup the HD and install an SSD, but the scope is functional again!

    @tom_verbeure@mastodon.social I really need to attend the flea markets you find this stuff on. It's unthinkable to even find this kind of gear even on eBay for sane prices here in Germany, it's wild.
