Hi Meat Plow,

That is what I have done, but I use a special cleaning 100% alcohol I
ordered from MCM Electronics years ago.

Hi,

Back in 1995, I bought a Fluke "12" Multimeter (digital) because of a
special feature (Max & Mim) it has. I have not used that meter often over the
years, unless I needed to use that special feature.

I have a display problem. Not all the segments of a digit are "active".
I had worked on this problem more than once over the years. The display
panel has those problematic edge contacts.

Does anyone know of a good fix for this problem?

Thank You in advance, John

PS, Remove "ine" from my email address

If you remove and clean the edges of the display and all the contact
points and its connections to the board with 90% alcohol with a
lintless swab that should restore the display for another few years if
not longer. I've done this to my Fluke 77 twice in the 20 years I've
had it.
