A while back I got a new digital 'scope. The one I'd been using was okay, but only 8-bit and had some other limitations. The vertical resolution was actually starting to make it difficult to get accurate-enough readings of some things I was working with.
The new one is 12-bit. That is likely to be better than I will ever need. I'm happy with it. Being several years newer (and a different brand) it brings some new #features to the table.
One is that you can use it as a digital logic analyzer - it can sample a whole lot of inputs (rather than just 4 analog channels) quickly if it only has to tell on from off. But you have to get a whole lot of #signals into the #scope before you can do that, so you need a #connector with a lot of pins/signals.
You could use something standard for this type of application (which is still going to be a limited-audience part), or a custom thing, but those options are expensive. So instead, if you're the manufacturer, you find a common (and therefore #cheap) #connector with lots of #pins, and you re-use that. Done and dusted!
They picked ... the HDMI connector. It's there at the bottom of the middle of the control panel. And in the manual is the prominent (not) warning:
> WARNING: Non-standard HDMI interface, Siglent device ONLY, or you will damage your device.
Yes, if you plug anything HDMI-related into this obvious #HDMI port, you will cause damage to your 'scope, or your other device.

So, the problem appears to be a #lifted #pad. Almost all the #circuit #trace was torn away by the #connector, the only part remaining is where the #vias are. I scraped away the #soldermask and #soldered a tiny wire to "rebuild" the pad. It's ugly, but it should work... -

Just a brief #factoid to perhaps save other #electronics #hobbyists some time.
#BigClive frequently uses a particular type of crimp-contact-and-housing as a universal socket for LEDs and other leaded components. Not just any such connector will do; various #JST, "#Dupont", and others won't work, because they only grasp pins of one particular size and/or shape. If the lead is too big, it won't go in, and if it's too small, it won't stay in.
If you want to use these connectors - and note you can get the housings with more than 2 contacts, so you can use them for transistors or weirder things too - the magic search term is "KF2510".
The reason these work as universal sockets for leaded components is because the contact is a spring that pushes from only one side of the housing, pressing the inserted contact or lead against the far side of the housing, and therefore provides a friction fit for any size lead (within reason). Most crimp connectors instead have particular shapes for their contacts and will only "grab" something the right size and shape.
