My Fluke 97 display is not operating. Repair shop says it needs to go
back to Fluke for SMT board replacement. Fluke wants $750, more than
meter is worth. Can anyone suggest a way around that high cost?
Thanks.
What I can remember is that only the backlight is not working. This isMy Fluke 97 display is not operating. Repair shop says it needs to go

What I can remember is that only the backlight is not working. This is
caused by some inverter on the back of the display board. If you are
handy enough with fault finding and replacing SMD you could give it a
try.

Well you didn't say what was wrong !!! I remember them having problems with
the Ni-cad packs. They needed a special contact in the pack to make contact
with the charging contacts. Try a set of good alkaline batteries and see if
it powers up, if it does then get back on making a ni-cad replacement pack.

Display shows only one line down right side of screen.
Put in new batteries so know it has power.

Sorry, guess it isn't the pack. I don't have any suggestions for the
symptom.
