Fluke 192 Scopemeter "Flatlines"

[johneb]

Hello,

I have a Fluke 192 Scopemeter in which both A and B channels just draw a flat line. I have been told that this usually occurs after the instrument has not been used for an extended period (> 6 months) which is true in my case.

Before I spring for the repair (Approx $500) I would like to know what goes wrong and most of all, if it is repaired whether it will stay fixed. Even if working this would still be an obsolete instrument (Fluke no longer offers repairs)

Thanks

Have you googled for such problems on this or similar models ?

I have no idea about this unit but sounds strange for a FLIKE. I use Fluke meters that sit around for months and never had a problem.

For example look here :

They discuss in detail how to attempt repair
