[time-nuts] Agilent 53132A Needs Help

All,

 

One of my 53132As, an Agilent unit, s/n KR01202209 fail the power-on self
test with a FAIL:ROM error message. During the test the front panel display
looks quite odd compared with the other counters. If I ignore the error and
press Recall (my settings are in Recall 1) I can proceed to what seems like
normal operation and the time intervals I have been collecting for years on
this counter seem OK.

 

I opened it up and there is not much there. While I suppose I could perform
some simple tests like checking power supply outputs, I just wondered if any
of you have had a similar experience or if you knew of a reasonable place to
have it repaired. I can only imagine what Agilent would charge for this.
