Repair Fluke 189 LCD.

[RxnWrecker]

I have a Fluke 189 with a cracked LCD.  The LCD still functions over a portion, but the top right corner where the damage occured does not display (see photo).  I assume this is irreparable and must be replaced but maybe I'm wrong?  If so, I appreciate advice from whatever wizard knows how to do something like that.

Odds are though I will need to replace the screen.  I have searched unsuccessfully for a replacement part.  The Fluke manual doesn't give me a part #, but I saw a similar post on this forum with 688181 listed as the part #, so I believe that is it.  I could use help finding it, if anyone has advice, or if anyone is selling it looks like I'm buying.  Also, I have little experience with LCDs, is there any cross compatibility among LCDs ie can I possibly find a screen made for something else but with similar specs and use it?

Thank you, hope someone out there can help.

PS I tried calling Fluke to get the part, but they haven't been any help as the part is obsolete.  I'm pretty sure that the part # is correct then, but the 2 guys on the phone seemed to know even less than I do on the topic.

Well, I'm very sorry to see a nice fluke in this situation...

However, the 189 seems to be a a platform shared with 87IV, 89 IV AND 187 sow these could be donor parts if you happen to find a blow unit.

I've found some with help of google around 40usd, please check:

I may check in Braziliam repair center for you, but they always ask for unit serial so I would need it.

Is the unit serial number written on the back under the barcode?  If so its 94060200.  Thanks for the links I am checking them out staring now.
