Don't think they will give a damn.  :(

If friends ask me about 280 series, looking at current situation, I will tell them to go Agilent straight a away. >:(

Looking at the past experience with 87V model which was vulnerable to GSM phone signal, that Dave raised up while ago, looks like Fluke reacted quickly. Again, I think raising this to Dave and hopefully he will consider to make a video on this once he sees enough people are "whining" about it.  >:D

Actually Fluke took quite a while over the GSM issue. Don't seem very sincere though. Fluke seems to be becoming more passive in everything recently.

I do have contact of Fluke's Marcom manager. Unfortunately she is not related to engineering. We need your powers Dave! Where are you Dave!

alm:
Has anyone actually shipped a meter with leaking cap to Fluke and was refused repair?

Nermash:
Maybe we should ask Martin from mjlorton channel to do a video about this... He has a 287 which is old enough to demonstrate this issue.

Last time it took Fluke arround 18 months to issue a firmware update for 287 (problem causing shutdown when logging, in presence of high intensity IR source around data port).

This would probably take the same amount of time, and the solution would probably be the same as with the 87V GSM issue: "send it for calibration and we will fix it for free".
