Neil,

That might be an indication of weak batteries or a bad connector in the
battery circuit. My DMM does that before the low battery warning lights
up. Like I can see that when the display is almost completely gray. You
might also try re-seating the LCD connector cable. That's all I know to
try without a schematic.

Regards,
Jim

Subject: [EE]: Fluke meter LCD problem

Got a Fluke 8060A DMM here, that has had an LCD problem since it was
new.  The LCD display is dim, and over time has dimmed more to the point
where it's almost gone.  I used to be able to see enough to use it, and
it
worked well otherwise.

Any thoughts on what might be wrong, or how to go about analyzing this?
I'm hoping that it's just a display connector or something simple.

Cheers,
-Neil.
