Dave dissects and then powers up the Tektronix TDS220 oscilloscope used in the Mud Run. Did it survive?

http://hackaday.com/2016/06/10/fixing-a-broken-ccfl-backlight/

When you work at Tektronix and they make a difficult to refuse offer for their ‘scopes, you obviously grab it.

Jason Milldrum] got his unit before cheaper, and better ‘scopes appeared on the market. It served him well for quite a long time. But keeping it switched on all the time took a toll, and eventually the CCFL backlight failed. Here’s how he replaced the CCFL back light with a strip of LED’s and revived the instrument.

Searching for an original replacement CCFL backlight didn’t turn up anything – it had been obsoleted long back.

the CCFL can be replaced by a thin strip of SMD LEDs powered by a DC-DC converter.

The original DC-DC converter supplied along with his LED strip needed a 12V input, which was not available on the TDS1012.
