Janne:
Got my Fluke 28 / 2 back from warranty repair a few days before Christmas. They had swapped the PCB, and also calibrated it. Not bad  :)

Can you share a picture of the new PCB if there are no stickers that say "void if removed"?

I just bought a Fluke 28ii and was impressed by the build quality.
Of course I tested the continuity test with backlight on.
There was no battery warning message but the buzzer was sounding puny (with the higher backlight level), quite similar to a dying 5 dollar meter. It was annoying and disappointing for a meter of such caliber.
I opened the battery case. Cleaned all contacts (batteries and metal contacts). Put 3 old/half used batteries just for a test. Problems gone.
Put back the original batteries and no more buzzer problems.
Hope this will help.
Also I had to screw back the cover with a torque screwdriver.
If you don’t have a torque screwdriver, just put some silicone grease around all rubber gaskets and fasten appropriately. This should work just fine for waterproofing.

My 28 II has this same problem.  It's especially annoying to me now because I'm using it on the bench for lots of measurements, as opposed to in the field for 1-2 measurements.  I guess it's still worth reporting on fixes so I'll see about getting it repaired and report back on my experience.

Had this repaired in January.  Took about a week and they also calibrated it free of charge.
