Troubleshooting an HP 3455a Digital Voltmeter

12/10/2008 6:22 PM

Hi guys,

Just wondering if anyone has experience with the hp 3455A voltmeter, I have acquired and old one that powers up but does not display anything. Haven't found much technical info on them using the standard searches, any pointers would be much appreciated.

I have one too,

it was one of the marvels of precision measurements (6 digits) but now somewhat aged.

I had only one necessity to get it repaired - the electrolytic capacitors of the power supply had aged and failed.

I suppose I have a manual but I doubt that I have the repair manual.

Thanks guys,

I saw that one on ebay after I bought this one for $10 (while buying a used power supply) seems to have the same problem as mine so I don't know if it would be good for parts.

Any info from the manuals would be much appreciated! Thanks again.
