I purchased this unit on Ebay knowing it was failing the self-test and had the following errors: 612, 613, 615, 617, 618, 619, and 621. A quick search on the internet led me to this @EEVblog forum thread: www.eevblog.com/forum/repair/...
After changing out some electrolytic capacitors I swapped out chip U201 - not an easy task without SMD tooling. I found this video from @ToltecMerc very helpful: • #2 Repair of Agilent 3...
The chip did the trick and the unit now passes all self-tests.
