I have a little problem witch my DSO quad (hard v2.7) : the red LED stay on all the time, like I was charging my DSO. Connecting it to my computer or to another charger doesn’t change anything.
On the other hand everything seems to work properly : measures are OK, charging OK, signal generator OK, firmware update OK …
If someone has an idea, I reflash the FW and I studied the schematic but didn’t find something that could explain it.
After your post I have thought that could be the reason of my LED problem. Moreover, I remember that charging semmsed very quick, that confirms there is a problem with U14.
I desoldered it this morning and LED no more light except when the DSO starts (which is the good comportement).
I will order a new LTC4054 and I’ll tell you if it’s fixed
I have the same problem.
A new DSO Quad, just a few day of ussage and suddenly I noticed that the RED LED is always ON and drain the battery quickly. As I need the DSO as ppocket, battery driven Osciloscope, It is a big problem for me.
I think this should be a reason to replace the DSO at the reseller, what do you think?
(Another issue with the DSO, one probe has wrong connector from beggining and needs to be replaced)
Is it still safe to use the unit “as normal” without the U14 / LTC4054?
Will the unit simply not charge, or are there other more perilous effects?
Considering the function diagram of the original component “UN8HX” that I found on the internet… You’ll have to google for “UN8HX” yourself as seeedstudios apparently blocks links.
I am assuming the only real effect is that it won’t charge…
