Re: Bad Fluke, BAAAAD Fluke!




Your correct, the Fluke has a flexible rubber piece with conductive pieces
that run from the LCD plate glass
to the gold plated connection pads on the multimeter circuit board.
I have done exactly what you described several times and it works for a
little while,
then goes back to its original hard to read condition.  Maybe the rubber
strip needs replaced?
It's also possible that it gets miss-aligned again after handling the
meter.

Thanks,
Rod

The LCD display has shifted. Take the LCD out, clean the rubber connecting
blocks and reinstall the LCD. If fixed quite a few this way.
