      If your Tektronix Test Equipment instrument won't power on, first, make sure the power cord is properly plugged in. If it still fails to power on, the power supply may be faulty and need replacement. As a last resort, the micro-controller assembly might be defective and require replacement.

      If your Tektronix Test Equipment powers on but the fans aren't working, you should check the fan power cable to ensure it's properly connected, especially to the circuit board. If the cable is fine, the fan itself might be defective and need replacing. Alternatively, the power supply or point of load regulators could be faulty and require replacement.
