That red clamp you can see bottom left is holding the screen together and causing it to work…

The hard copy manual which was in the box I received was in Chinese (I think) but I found the English documentation available on the web from the manufacturer over here: Fluke 17B+ Digital Multimeter.
Shoutout to my mate @ElectrArc240 who was the person that made me aware of this Fluke multimeter, I learned about it in one of his videos.
If you enjoyed this video and are interested in the Fluke 17B+ you can see a product demonstration over here: Demo #1: How to Use All the Features of the Fluke 17B+ Digital Multimeter | In The Lab With Jay Jay.

Interlude #8: Making My Maker Faire ‘Here There Be Makers’ Badge | In The Lab With Jay Jay
This post is part of my video blog and you can find more information about this video over here.
You can support this channel on Patreon: patreon.com/JohnElliotV
In this video I fix up and reassemble my Here There Be Makers badge which I received from Maker Shed in California.
This electrified badge was made by lectrify.it and PCBWay.
Previously I had installed a single 3mm LED in the top of this thing, but in this video I remove that (so I can use the hole to hang it) and install two 3mm LEDs on the front instead, which is my best guess as to what I was supposed to do with this thing, which didn’t come with instructions.
There is some information about their Maker Faire event on in San Fransisco later this year over here: https://make.co/welcome/
And also, yes, I should have combed my hair before making this video. :P
