After all the faulty component is SHORTED which should be easy to find. Yea, it is a PITA to check every single component (sort of the brute force way to check), but judicious studying of the schematic and identifying appropriate points to isolate and subsequently test can prune away a number of branches in the tree fairly quickly so as to speak.   Maybe bounce over to the tek google groups and ask if there are any common component failures that should be targeted first? Otherwise, enjoy getting intimate with the guts of your scope....

The service manual has a list of chief suspects to look at first, so hopefully that should prove invaluable.

Totally agree. I'm doing just that now.....

What the Amish discourage is direct connections to the outside.   I thought it was any machinery.

So, in order to sell their product, they must comply with safety rules applicable to all farm products. They will use on-site generators for power, Absorption chillers (propane-fired) for cooling, and stationary engines to run fans and other devices via belts or pulleys.   So they go against their own customs to please the morons in power?   > https://amishamerica.com/do-amish-use-electricity/ Some of their farms are incredibly sophisticated in terms of energy use, between turbines, solar panels, even, in some cases, hydropower.   > Note also: Amish may use a (Cell) Phone, but may not dial one. And they may ride in a IC vehicle, but may not drive one.   That's illogical and sounds like cheating, like a Jew I know who sets timers for Sunday so he doesn't have to go to the trouble and energy of pushing that really heavy lightswitch.   So this refridgeration is ok as long as they hire a non-Amish bloke to press the power button? I'd love to have that job....

One Indiana colony split over whether rubber tires on a buggy were the work of the Devil.   I loaded furniture at a plant that was was staffed, if not owned, by Amish. The machinery was modern but when I had to go to another warehouse the guy loading the truck wouldn't ride over, but galloped across the fields to meet me there.   Besides furniture, quite a few mid-west RV factories employ Amish.   https://amishamerica.com/why-are-amish-building-rvs/   It's disconcerting to see a guy in the traditional clothing and beard smoking a cigarette and drinking a can of Coke or a bottle of beer for that matter. In many ways they're a lot more liberal than some of the tight-assed Protestant sects derived from Calvinism.

vjp2.at@at.BioStrategist.dot.dot.com: Nov 08 09:11PM Is it reasonable to expect a smartphone builtin magnetometer to measure the current in a wire by induction?     -- Vasos Panagiotopoulos panix.com/~vjp2/vasos.htm ---{Nothing herein constitutes advice. Everything fully disclaimed.}---

No.   As you have carefully not given us any sort of parameters as in what kind of wire, what kind of current, any distances involved and much more (less).   Peter Wieck Melrose Park, PA

I find no reference to it in this one.   There are some "deck adjustments" in the manual (page 4-25 to 4-27) which are accomplished by entering numbers at certain time using the remote control. They only seem to make a bong-bong noise when entered soon after powering up, and do not display what the manual says they will.   The laser assembly seems to be a BDP5G-MAIN Rev 2-3.1 . I cannot so far find any service info on that to suggest waht the VR1,2,3 adjustments are.

I expect that you will have to find a service manual for that specific device - or, as I am fond of suggesting, if the alternative is landfill, a little bit of careful experimenting is in order.   NOTE: You are adjusting the DVD (red) laser!   https://www.techwalla.com/articles/how-to-adjust-the-laser-in-your-dvd-player   When the alternative is landfill, extraordinary measures are acceptable.   Peter Wieck Melrose Park, PA
