Otherwise it will be :-BROKE forever!

dr Diesel,
Did you repair it yourself or sent it to Fluke?
I purchased mine second hand.

Check the battery contact strips to make sure they are making contact with the pcb. You might have bent them while putting the back cover on?
See modemhead's pictures here.

If they seem okay, see if the PCB is getting any voltage from the 4 AA batteries?

Yup replaced myself, no need to wait weeks/months for Fluke and a $2 part, took 2 minutes.
Disclaimer, you'll likely void your warranty if there is any left. If you search back on this thread I posted the Digikey part number I used.

Got RMA for my Fluke 289 today. I'm shipping to Everett Washington tomorrow. They said that turnaround is 5 days, I can live with that. Never sent a unit to Fluke before, I want to see what happens.
