Great. Any info will be usefull.

I might have identified a few more elements:

1AM (sot23) 2N3904
ARB (SC70) TPS715
338 (sot23) NDS338N or BC338
A8L (sot23)  MMUN2234
2A (sot23) 2N3906
A41 (sot23) 1S2836 or OPA364
LTKH (S5) LT1615ES5-1
IL44 (sot23) perhaps BAT54S
A6W (sot23) BAS16
1R (sot23) MMBT5089
EHs (sot23) BCW66H
SS (sot23) BSS138
337 (sot23) NDS337N or BC337
R1E (sot23) LM4041EEM3-1.2
RAD (SC70-5) LM4041
5B1 (sot23) XC6106B032MR or XC9236A11CM
JY (sot23) BAV199
6B (sot23) 2N5484 or BC817-25
That was my guess too.

Another question. One meter was shot by high voltage I have good meter to compare to this is what I am getting on optocoupler. does anyone know what optocoupler part number is?

I don't know the original part number for that, I used SFH 325 FA-3 (made by Osram) when I replaced one of those in my 287, works perfectly.

I thought it is opto sensors for leads position, to alarm if leads in current but meter in other position

thoses white optos are the leads detection ...

@radistx  have you pull out every mov / resistor / protection inputs and checked them,  checked pcb traces layout up to the dial contacts ... ??

You are getting the same error as I am.
Please post here any updates that might help me or others with fixing fluke 287/289. :-+

JFFS2 image from working Fluke 287 see the attached files.
Can you extract BackupMeter.hex and clem.img from it?

@retiredcaps
If there would be something wrong with the input protection, what would be the symptoms for the device? I would assume that the device should boot up normally, but one could not make any measurements. My unit doesn’t display anything on the LCD, but most of the voltages on test points seem to be similar to those listed by @purpose and @frenky. Can I assume that any potential issue with the input protection does not have anything to do with blank LCD?
I’ve just measured voltages as @sacral described in post #39 and below are those, for which I got different readings.

@sacral
My unit powers down after few minutes and so the voltages are changing. Maybe some of the measurements you’ve made were made after the “sleep”? I’m just asking. It is probably different because mine is broken ;)

Here are deviations from @sacral list:
TP 1: 0.005
TP 3: 4.96
TP 9: 2.28
TP 16: 2.91
TP 18: 1.81
TP 32: 3.07
TP 33: 3.07
TP 34: varies in a mV range
TP 37 0.057

How can I test the LCD? Anybody can give me some simple guiding for this task, so I could eliminate the faulty LCD, please?

I bought a faulty 289 yesterday. After some internet search I ended up reading through this thread.

Yakuzza: Somehow I believe I have ended up with your particular 289 multimeter with a non working LCD display (background light is good). So everything you have written in this thread about your 289 applies to the 289 I  bought yesterday.

What is new information regarding the particular 289 is that I connected it to my computer via the IR189USB rev. II interface. All readings look good in FlukeView Forms... Does this fact imply that the problem is simply regarding the LCD display hardware?

The resistance reading is a little funny, reading 25 MegaOhms initially, but after shorting the probes for a brief moment it reads ~3.7 MOhms with open probes...

I have a 5 year old NIB 287 that is barely powered up a couple of times. I am considering swapping LCD's from the 287 to the 289 to figure out if only the 289's LCD is broken. However I am reluctant to disassembling my 287 as it is in mint condition.

Is it possible to do a factory reset via the IR189USB interface cable?

Is it possible to use the RS-232 serial type command "RSM" as described here: http://uniteng.com/neildocs/facilities/Fluke289_remote_spec28X.pdf

RMP
Reset Meter Properties

Reset meter properties to their factory default state.
This is the same operation as Reset Setup under
Setup front panel soft key.

So the DCV and ACV mode are accurate?  Just resistance is bad?

To confirm, with open probes you get 25M ohm?  If you short the probes, you get 3.7M ohm?

After turning the dial into resistance mode, the display shows 25 M Ohms while probes are open circuit.
Shorting the probes gives a reading of 0.15 - 0.25  0.09-0.10 Ohms
When the probes are separated again, the display doesn't return to 25 M Ohms, but shows ~3.7 M Ohms (while probes are open circuit)

The non display of 0L might indicate that one or more of your input protection circuits has been damaged.

You can measure all in circuit and see if they are good.  If not, desolder them to verify.

A MOV should measure infinite resistance.  The PTC should be around 1.1k ohm.  The fusible resistor should be around 1k ohm.

I forgot to mention that the VAC and VDC measurements are all good compared to my Fluke 83V.

The screenshot from the 289 FW 1.16 installer reveals the software and hardware versions.

Should I press the "Next" button and go for a 1.16 update? Maybe everything will be working again after a fresh FW install?

I performed the FW 1.16 update and all seemed well. The installer confirmed update was competed and everything seemed ok with the install.

Just after atomatic reboot of the 289 it started beeping 4 times per second.
I started FlukeView Forms, but could see no data from the DMM in FlukeView Forms anymore.

I was certain I had bricked this sick puppy for good.

I completed a firmware install again with no error messages, but there was no change in meter behavior. Just beeping. Almost the same way as when you have your probes connected the wrong way...

So - after fiddling with the rotary switch and buttons, I managed to silence the meter by setting the selector to current measurement mode (A/mA or uA), while probes are connected to the COM and V/Ohm jacks.
The data is again registered in FlukeView Forms.

While in current measurement mode, the meter is silent until I move the red probe from the V/Ohm-jack to the appropriate A jack. This behavior is opposite of what to expect.

Connecting the red lead to the mA/uA jack does not make the meter beep.

Maybe the probe position sensor logic in the A jack has failed in some way (inverted signal)?

For the first time it is now possible to turn the meter off with the soft on/off button.

Suddenly the meter was beeping all the time no matter where the jacks were connected.

I cleaned some of the input areas, components Q24, Q27 and DS2 with Q-tips + IPA.

I also resoldered a corroded looking solder joint on the tiny DS2 diode between the current inputs.

Now the Current Terminal Sensing works as it should - Only beeping (4 times per second) when jack a jack is inserted in any current input and not corresponding selection on rotary selector.

Now I have to figure out why the LCD doesn't show any information.

Is the flexible pcb foil is well inserted in the white connector or have some physical damage ?   maybe pull it out and replug it ?

I measured oscillators/crystals  Y1 and Y2.
Y1 oscillates steadily at 32.764 kHz.
Y2 oscillates steadily at 32.766 kHz.

Y1 signal amplitude is however relatively low, only 200 mVpp (measured between ground [negative pad] and either oscillator terminals).
Y2 signal amplitude was easier to measure with an amplitude of 900 mVpp.

Does anyone know the right specs of Y1 and Y2?

I haven't noticed any PCB foil inside the meter. I will look for it and the white connector the next time I get some spare time to do more troubleshooting.

When the back case of the meter is removed, you see an white connector with an yellowish flexible foil who go to the front panel,  named J3 on the pcb, this is the lcd supply and data connector.

The flat flex ribbon cable for the LCD display looks like new. I undo it practically every time I take the meter apart to troubleshoot. If i seat the cable while the DMM is running, I can see funny artifacts on the LCD screen. So the LCD seems to be «alive and kicking»

Hello! Have you picked up the meter in Oslo? ;) I see you've went much further than I did in this attempt to rescue the poor unit. I gave up few months ago but I hope you will succeed!
Good luck!

Yes, I picked up the meter in Oslo three days ago. From you I guess. I suspect that the blue-green stuff that was found inside the unit is both corrosive and somewhat conductive. One of the solder pads for component DS2 was partly corroded away and made poor contact with the funny looking and somewhat transparent component DS2 with a diode-like symbol printed on the silk screen.

Would DS2 be the surface mount LED light source for the lead sensors? Its position directly between the jacks would imply it works as a common source for both photosensors. Wonder if there is a reflective part in the cover to split and redirect the light in the needed directions? The lack of light due to the corroded pad on the LED could explain why the meter was confused about the current jacks lead state.
