Troubleshooting Troubleshooting the Digital Section 5-10. Troubleshooting the EEPROM The EEPROM (U11) is used for waveform storage and is only installed on the Model 41B. To isolate waveform storage problems, proceed with the following: 1. Verify that R82 and R84 are correct and installed. Also, verify that R83 and R85 are absent.
39/41B Service Manual 5-11. Troubleshooting the LCD Display Module To isolate a problem when the LCD display appears dead, do the following: 1. First, verify that the display module is properly connected to the main circuit board. Make certain that the flex cable is not twisted or at an angle as it enters the molex connector of either the LCD module or the main circuit board.
EEPROM (U22) is probably faulty. Note In the next step, the Fluke 39 will not display the baud rate or printer type. 2. Reset the instrument to factory default by holding R and pressing O. Then, power the Tester off and back on to bring up the power-up configuration screen. The following menu items should be highlighted: VOLT, WAVE, %RMS, 80I-500S, VOLT, 9.6K, and EPSON.
