It's not in great condition and needs some other repairs so I wouldn't like to spend that much on a screen but would like to give it a new lease of life of I can at allSent from my ONEPLUS A5010 using Tapatalk

content: I'd love to swap all these for the correct screen if anyone is feeling brave. They all have at least 1 fault, all the flukes are missing the 10a fuses and 2 are missing their fusible resisters. I've tried reflowing the chips and cleaning with IPA. I haven't gone any further with the fault finding.All LCDs on the 70 series are working, 2 have broken bezels and 1/2 buzzers are broken. No batteries suppliedI bought these as part of a job lot of non working meters 5 of which I've managed to repair, I'm happy with what I've gotten out of the lot and have had enough of repairs for the time being.Special thanks to retiredcaps for his thorough & patient posting history and to mrmodemhead for his blogs.Sent from my ONEPLUS A5010 using Tapatalk

content: Quote from: kevinf on November 03, 2018, 12:50:38 amMost of what I know comes from reading the older Fluke service manuals, modemheads' blog and his emails and of course Dave's videos.When helping others fix their meters, I'm just paraphrasing the above. If you follow modemhead's posts here, I would say 85% of are multimeter fix advice.If you want help fixing your ebay lot, start a new thread for each.PS. If the Canadian dollar wasn't so weak and shipping to Canada was reasonable, I would be bidding on those broken lots myself. Those days are probably over so I resort to virtual fixing things now by helping others.

I'm trying to sell the surplus repaired meters locally to cover my costs and if they sell your welcome to the 4 remaining flukes, just cover the cost of postage, leave it with me.Sent from my ONEPLUS A5010 using Tapatalk

content: Quote from: kevinf on November 01, 2018, 10:14:10 pmThe LCDs for all those may look the same, but for some reason the 83 and 85 displays have a different connection order than the 87 displays. This is true for Series I and Series III. So you'll need an 83 or 85 donor. Unfortunately I only have one 87-I LCD with some missing bar graph segments.

But if you want them as a personal challenge they're yours for cost of shipping Sent from my ONEPLUS A5010 using Tapatalk
