Re: Fluke
Yes but luckily it's the least significant bit with a problem and usually display the decimal point value. I mostly use it for automotive work so for now it works as is.
I found a shop with a Fluke calibration tool but am not investing on recalibration till I get a new display. I now need to find out the exact P/N of the LCD display I need. It's a gamble also because the problem might not be the LCD.
Thanks

Re: Fluke
Opened up the fluke again but this time I swapped the top and bottom elastomers. Same problem so that it leaves me no option now but to try and get a new LCD.
Got the LCD part number also JF640581.

Re: Fluke
you can try contacting avesco in aurora blvd cubao. they are the dealer of fluke here.
Re: Fluke
I could be wrong but I think 5th Ave in SM MegaMall Cyberzone is a 'branch' of Avesco. You might enquire if they accept Fluke servicing there.
Flukes are the best. 🙂
Re: Fluke
5th ave in makati park ssquare also
Re: Fluke
Or prolly the liquid inside is already drying up due to age. I have chiwanese fluke look alike, I'll check of the LCD is somewhat similar as yours as most MICs (Made In China) do have carbon copy of the original thing.
I'm not saying this is a good thing to do but if all else fails, a cheap "Flukey" LCD would be a better choice to dismantle and try to use as a replacement. ( if the LCDs are almost identical in form)
Re: Fluke
I already contacted Avesco. They are the one who have the Fluke calibration tool and charge 2K for calibrating. The Fluke 77 is really not hard to calibrate but I will need a 3.000V supply to properly adjust it.
They don't have the LCD on stock.
I found another ebay seller and sent him an email already. This item is small and can probably be shipped by USPS going here.

The cost of the LCD is still way way below the price of a new Fluke 117 so I might as well try to give this 77 new life. The newer Flukes are also Made in China now.
Thanks a lot again for your feed backs.

Re: Fluke
I have a Fluke 77 that came from the old Clark Airbase, and I got it in the late '80s.
Still working now, but the rotary dial is a bit clunky. It 'over-extends' and does not stop
when it is in OFF. But other than that, everything still works.
BTW, FYI, I also have a later model (entry level) Fluke 10, and this old 77 w/ military spec, is still
better. The 9 volt battery lasts much much longer.
Haven't had them calibrated though, but then I never/don't use them in a 'lab' setting.
Cheers 🙂
