My 20-year-old Fluke 87 has one or two segments and several
annunciators that have dimmed. I assume this is due to a
weakening connection between the LCD and the PCB.

I've opened the unit as far as I care to, and don't want to rip into it
any
farther until I know what to expect. Can anyone point me to a drawing
that
shows how things go together?

It's pretty straight forward. A few weeks ago I cleaned the zebra strip
that connects the LCD to the PCB on my 87. Used a qtip and some rubbing
alcohol. There are a couple screws on the backside of the PCB that hold
the LCD assembly to it. Just remember how you took it apart as there is no
marking on the LCD to orient it. The plastic cover can only go on one way
if I recall correctly.

Thanks. I feel much better about tearing it apart.
