fluke probably are made in china, do you see any pcb houses in the west anymore!

Re: Recommend me a MultiMeter
Wrong! Only the low end models (sub $150) are made in China.
The 70 series and higher are still made in the US.
Honestly when I opened a China model they were still as well built as the USA Flukes beautiful flawless soldering, dead on component placement, and not a drop of flux to be seen. They definitely made an effort to keep the quality up overseas.Last edited by Krankshaft; 11-12-2010, 02:07 AM.Elements of the past and the future combining to make something not quite as good as either.Comment

Amazing that someone that's too cheap to buy a -real- ESR meter looks for ads for DMM's that cost over $200.Mann-Made Global Warming.

Re: Recommend me a MultiMeter
I would say "Fluke" dmm for accurate voltage ,and current measurments. and an analogue for testing diodes, mosfets , transistor etc.... I personally use simpson 260-6xlp, and fluke 87 III.Comment

but it fried iteslf (nothing i did, i just measured a cap and it died!)
now i have some $15.99 analog multimeter that i have no clue how to use

Hi all,
I was looking to upgrade my main multimeter (Asita MD591) with something that has more features. I'll use it mostly for board diagnostic and diy repairs. I've been eyeing out many of those multi-function ones from Aliexpress but can't seem to make my mind up. Here are the features that I'm looking after:
- Autorange
- DC volts up to 30V
- Accurate Resistance
- Diode test (Beep mode)
- Frequency up to 200MHz
- Capacitanze up to 5000uF
- as cheap as possible
Other functions are not needed but those which are needed... -
I am new to electronics and I'm understanding most of what I'm reading but I have a mosfet on my board that I've identified as a P-channel Trench Mosfet. I haven't a clue how to test this and what I should expect to see with the multimeter probes. I am hoping someone with years more experience than myself can help me understand how to use a multimeter to read this. Please look at the drawing I have attached to this and can you try to explain to me what I should be doing with my multimeter in diode mode and what results I should expect from a good mosfet?...

My daily carry just stopped working only me. Started last week with the voltage flickering. Found one lead was broken and I ordered new ones. New leads didn't change anything, it displays “-1” on all settings but on continuity will give the tone when touching. Checked battery and found the fuse blown. Replaced fuse but same results. Cleaned the dial and led display and its parts. Board looks nice and clean no burned or broken components. Nothing traumatic happened to this multimeter I put it aside when I found the lead broken and didn't touch it until I got the neAnyone have any ideas what's... -
I started to learn laptop repair a few weeks ago, since then I ve ordered several dead laptops to try to fix them and learn.
I fixed some of them and some I ve made things worse by blowing components.
Every time while taking measurements with my multimeter.
Yesterday I was working on a dell laptop motherboard, I was checking the charge IC for short in diode mode and it killed the chip.
So my question is are there things I should not do with my multimeter?
Or measurements I should do only with the charger and battery unplugged?... -
Hi all,
First off, this forum really helped me out by advising me to cut some ribbon connectors to the LCD panel in order to fix a 70" TV (lots of threads on Sharp TVs with this issue). I didn't believe that it could work, but it did.
Now I've been encouraged to try to diagnose something quite a bit more complicated. That is an old T430 motherboard. I work on a college campus so I have access to pretty decent tools. I found the schematic for the motherboard on the site, and have been following traces and taking DC measurements from things. I also don't mind...
