<nowiki>The 465 "Family" of scopes has been known to have issues with "no display" or a "shrunken" screen trace. This includes 465,465B,466,468 and 475 scopes. The schematic for each series is almost identical but each one uses different and component ID numbers in their schematic. | |||
1. This may be attributed to a failure of the HV transformer and/or the HV Multiplier. | 1. This may be attributed to a failure of the HV transformer and/or the HV Multiplier. | ||

c. The HV Multiplier has likely shorted to ground and is demanding more current and voltage from T4015 than the transformer is able to deliver. | c. The HV Multiplier has likely shorted to ground and is demanding more current and voltage from T4015 than the transformer is able to deliver. | ||

a. Turn the scope power "on", if everything else is OK, you should see a trace which should be dim, but still visible. Dim room lighting helps spot the trace. | a.
