I had the same two posts break off. Did the repair with the super glue and baking soda . They’ve held and now it’s been workin for 6 months. Thank you saved me from buying a new one
Thank you for sharing your video. I encountered a similar issue where my device wouldn't turn on in any function unless pressure was applied to the knob. Upon inspection, I found that the unit must have been dropped at some point (probably by the kids). Upon opening it up, I discovered that all of the circuit board posts had snapped off. I took a different approach and used a foot of electrical tape, rolled it into a ball, and taped it down to the circuit board next to the speaker. After closing it back up and screwing on the back cover, there was enough pressure to complete the circuit between the knob and motherboard.
Those were brittle plastic bits. Id be very careful not to drop my Fluke 324 then. Still a good attempt to repair though. Now I've learned a trick on how to make super glue stick better- baking soda. Thanks for sharing!
I bought a 322 at estate sale and guy broke all back case mount holes. I used longer screws and it works. Had to put enough pressure for power switch to make contact. 5 years later the battery cover broke because it got brittle. Such garbage from fluke
I can understand a cheap unbranded Chinese meter using low grade plastics, but Fluke? This will do great damage to their reputation which could affect sales of their upper range equipment. Unbelievable.
Well to their credit it is old and I did buy it used so I don't know what it has been through but the plastic does feel cheap and breaks easily. Their upper range equipment is still great quality in my opinion. I don't think they make this one anymore I think they replaced it with the 323 model.

I had the same issue. My fix didn’t last long, though.
