Hi everybody,
I worked on my 8840a again.
If I describe the symptom of the meter, it doesn't work at any setting.
Display is fine. When the rate is selected at SLOW, number floats whether I measure the voltage or resistance. Or without any input. If Medium or Fast is selected, it doesn't float. But always random number number.
I checked the Vcc and ground for all the IC and Schematics Voltages. I checked all the resistors. OK.
One thing, I don't understand is:
When VDC is selected AND 200mV, 2V, or 200V is selected AND at Slow Rate, the "HI" input terminal shows AC of Vpp 3.6xV at 12.xHz on my scope.
If I choose either K ohm or any other button, no AC at the "HI" terminal.
