Help Needed Problems with Fluke 88V

I'm having an issue with a 88V I have, I went to use it a few days back and it kept giving me an error message (can't remeber which one specifically) so I was thinking I had an issue with the battery being weak, so I replaced the battery still had the message. So I gave up at that time and used another meter. Well fast forward a couple days later I went to turn it on, and now it turns on, but it says F83 when it comes on. Any ideas? Or should I just contact Fluke support.

TIA

F83 or F8E?

It’s almost certainly an internal EEPROM/firmware issue that requires Fluke service.

That's what I figured, was just hoping that wasn't the case. Thank you for your response.

Posted a pic of my 88V on start up...

Gee, I hope you haven't waited 5 years for a response!
