Usually when they die, they take a lot of parts out in the process. The good news is that the PSU in the 53181 is the same as the 131 PSU. Since 181’s tend to sell for “not much” they are a fine parts donor ….

They do die of fairly normal random stuff as well. Like just about everything designed in the last 30 years, schematics and field repair manuals simply don’t exist. What to do: Start looking for shorted caps. If voltages are ok then move on to things like the frequency of the local oscillator. You can get surplus Rb’s built into functioning devices.

He did die right where he was standing but it took too long, not a humane kill. Lesson learned. And today I read some warnings during my net searching about it getting into the cracks and crannies in printed stuff and delaminating it gradually. Both that and the finely milled graphites carry the same warnings, saying don't use.

Gerard, except that those transceivers that do the gigabit serial links  have their own, fenced off circuitry and isolated regions  on the die. They also have their own fenced off, isolated power supplies and ground regions. And, they require clocks with < a few hundred pS of jitter for their PLL references  to work.
