Re: Fluke 87 issue

Well, upon further investigation, and checking it with my meter, that line is still intact. It's the coating that's came off. Those two caps read 89k and 130k respectively. I know I should remove them to read them but checking all the other ones, and the fact they are reading within limits, I'm still thinking those two are shot. That whole corner of the board is where the corrosion damage was....

Re: Fluke 87 issue

You know I didn't even see that? Looking at the board with the bare eye, it looks intact, I had to look at the picture to see what you were referring to and then got the board under a magnifying glass and sure enough. I'm going to follow the directions from your link later today and see if that works. I'll post my results. Thank you again. Love this website.

Re: Fluke 87 issue

Sorry, this shows the two I'm looking for...

Re: Fluke 87 issue

Ok, hopefully this works. You can see the two blue ones that are bad. I looked at that website already and unless I'm measuring them wrong, they don't show any this small...

Re: Fluke 87 issue

It just says 87, but it doesn't have the fuseable resistor like the one I've seen in the first Gen, so I'm not sure.
Tell me you have the resistors! Lol

Somehow my fluke went out. I checked the normal things, fuses, etc and upon opening it all the way, found what looked like old water damage. Anyway, Ive narrowed it down to two bad surface mount resistors. A blue 1073 and a similar 2103. I'd like to order these but I have no idea, where or what kind they actually are. They are .3 mm long. Any ideas?

Ok guys, this radio was in my boat when purchased, loved it but after about a year it started randomly scanning through the menus and would stop playing intermittently until it died altogether. I bought a new one, have had it for 3 years without a issue, until a rushed battery reconfiguration (there's 5) had one of the amps get both positive and negative connected to the hot and it let the smoke out while burning a hole through the board. Thinking the old radios issue was in the faceplate, I swapped boards and in my drive it worked. I launched and made it a mile before it started scanning again...

Ok, I hope this is where I'm supposed to post as I couldn't find a post button lol. Hi guys, I'm John, living here in New Orleans, always been a inquisitive tinkerer, especially when it's came to electronics. Learned everything I know about repairing lcd and led TV sets from here. Lol. I'm one of those can do anything guys that if I don't know how, I'll learn it. I need to make my first post, after hanging out for a while because I have a issue that I'm not knowledgeable and have exhausted all my other resources.
