Fluke 77 iv - erratic behaviour
(1/2) > >>
cardosoluis:
Hello everyone,

i bought a fluke 77 iv for parts/repair, and i thought it would be a fun and simple project to repair since in the pictures it look like it was working ok, only strange part was that in the volts selection, would show ohms, a few days later and i have it with me, and the multimeter has a really weird behavior.

when i turn it on, despite what measure i chose, i always get the same screen in ohms and it beeps randomly, like i was measuring continuity, after taking it apart i saw that the previous owner soldered a wire in the fuses (probably that's why it got in this state).

Visualy i don't see anything wrong apart from that, if someone has any ideia of what the problem could be, i would apreciate your help!

i'll attach some pictures of the meter

Forgot to mention, the bridge rectifier looks like was resoldered, also the battery connector doesn't look oem.
also added pictures of the meter running and a video:

Are the switch contacts still all there and in correct positions, (in the function switch in top case half!), given this unit has been worked on before you ?

You may find the below thread useful.

good luck
cardosoluis:
yes they are, i saw a video where one of the contacts was broken so was my first check, i already saw that thread and tested all that, and its fine on mine.

i ordered a new bridge rectifier to test, lets see.

Thanks!

i'm guessing the issue is not with the bridge rectifier, i removed mine from the board, and the strange behaviour persists, if anyone has any idea please let me know
