Hello,

We have an old Varian 380-LC ELSD we are attempting to resurrect. The first time we fired it up, there were no issues. Then the next day we noticed the screen didn’t turn on with the first attempt. Now, the screen won’t turn on at all and it beeps continuously. We opened it up and found LED D16 to be flashing.

We checked the PSU and found it to be operating at spec, so we’re unsure where to go from here. I’m not above using AI to attempt to help with this, and it suspects there could be a voltage regulator out somewhere.

I wanted to see if maybe anyone here has any insight.

Thanks!
Sorry to hear about the issues you are having with your Varian 380 ELSD.
We are are Provider of Preowned Equipment & Advisory Services for Innovators in Research, Development, Analytical Testing & Manufacturing.

We currently know and work with a company that exclusively services ELSD's that is located in the Mid-Atlantic states that might also be able to help that we could refer you to.

Also, we currently have two ELSD's available for sale. An Agilent G4260B 1260 Infinity II ELSD and also a Varian 380-LC ELSD that are both fully PM'd and tested by the company we referenced above mentioned above.

If you eventually consider replacement, please let us know as well we would be more pleased to set up a call with you to discuss how we can help in either regard.
