Nice, you did it! Good job! 🙂 I love my TDS210, it's so easy to just turn it on and use it straight away. If you need replacement BNC's, they are still available from Digikey/Mouser etc, TE connectivity / AMP part number 5414373-1
Great video my brother ,i used this to fix my tds 210 ,but did use a led strip for lighting the screen which works well ,but used an external power supply to power the led strip ,thank you for your time and Jesus bless you and your family.
We had a backlight fail on 4 of 5 scopes at work, in every case the florescent tube had died . I replaced all of them with leds. It's been 10 years and all are still bright and crisp .
@@chevylization There's no kit that I'm aware of, but it's been 10 years. I found the densest strip I could. L.E.D.'s were about 2mm spaced. they were 12volt and could cut every 3 L.E.D.'s.

subbed. I did a bnc repair on my TDS 210 on my youtube channel too. Its a great family of scope and I enjoy having one. I had been looking for a scope for years and found that one. If you should need the BNC number its listed on the EEEV blog where someone fixed it there. I got the number form it for my repair, and could use the number on Mouser. I think they are about 8 dollars CAN each. I don't remember the number off hand but I believe I link to it in my vids description. Thank you for sharing your repair.
9:42 in. I see where the copper braided sleave part goes!!!! I have one of these and took it apart months ago and now on reassembly could not remember where that sleave part goes. I knew it is for connecting the plated shield coating on the front panel to the board somehow. Broken solder on the BNCs for these is common. Also, I have a TDS210 saved from trash where someone tried to repair those like you did but then got the ribbon cable for the display in backwards so it did not work and they gave up on it.
Surprised you could still find replacement CCFL's for it. Must be NOS items. Had the same problem trying to remove brittle knobs on older 22XX series TEK scopes. They shatter to pieces with very little force.
just scored one. bit long in the tooth but 100mhz is still 10x faster than what i have, and 4x faster than my friends. hoping AU 350 was reasonable. its in pristine condition from what i can tell. no scratches, so far everything seems to be working. i saw tektronix, i jumped. dont see them over here. not without paying a small ransom. funny how the friends newer one, is basically identical but you can feel straight away, its pretty cheap and nasty. one of the knobs fell off in the first week. the shaft broke, actually. and the power switch doesnt work. and it keeps drifting after half an hour or so. good enough for my basic stuff.
Hi, has anybody have an idea of a cause of a dark screen with 3 yellow lines on the display of a Tektronix TDS220. I have replaced the scope with the Hantek 15C15 150mhz scope but still like to try and repair the TDS220 as well.

I own of a Tek TDS210 oscilloscope; Could you tell me how to update the firmware? I have already downloaded the .BIN file from Tekwiki. Thank you.

Thank you sir! .. some to you
Another great video. You have hands like a surgeon sir. Hope all is well and thanks for sharing.
Thank you Andrew!
Nice job. And helpful to see how the backlight is changed. Thanks.
Glad it helped

Great solution, nice fix!
I was wondering about that. Have seen retrofit LED kits for laptops and monitors.
Is there one for this type of screen or you have to go full McGyver?
@@chevylization Good question, i did not look at that, this was still available

Thanks for the class, greetings from Brazil
You are welcome Paulo!
great repair , as always
Thanks Dennis!
The appropriate restoration for a Tek 210/220 is to throw it in the bin where it belongs.
LOL, you are clearly not a fan of Tek :) no problem, thanks for watching!
Great fix Tony
Thank you!
Hi there, nice repair :)
I thought this scope would be packed to the brim with PCBs, but there's hardly anything inside. Oh well.
Thanks, i was thinking the same..
Nice work!
Thank you Bill!

Hi, i did not know that ws possible... i have not done that myself. (maybe Jared from @nearFarMedia ) has done that before

I think it are just universal parts that fit, but yes, good is still available
👍Hi Tony, nice job on those very good Scopes. My TDS220 has a faulty screen, do you know where I can purchase areplacement?

Don't think i can help, but maybe some of the viewers can.
@@TonyAlbus Hi Tony how do I ask help from your viewers. I would appreciate any tips about how to go about it. Many Thanks 73's .ZL1BMA

Have a look at Retrobright the 8bitguy on youtube it's amazing how it recovers the yellow plastic.
Thank you, i like more the natural aging, but that is a nice channel for sure.
Im trying to find a TIL115 IC or equivlent. For a Heath kit Scope repair. Anybody? Thanks
