WB testing problems

My Multimeter is a Fluke 79.  I have also tested
it with my cheapo Goldstar digital meter.  No change.
I did the check with the 100k resistor to the +4V side 
of R38 and I get 7.8 volts, but still 6.75-6.8 at pin 
5 of U3 even with a 100k inline.

Any ideas from anyone, or should I just continue with 
the rest of the tests?  Anything obvious that it could be?

Thanks,
Steve
