What is so wrong with good old instant coffee from a jar, like Nescafe etc (battening down the hatches from the abuse that will surely come now from the seasoned coffee drinkers)
What is so wrong with good old instant coffee from a jar, like Nescafe etc
No pictures. The carnage is too horrific for those with weak constitutions. The Fluke 8810A has been stripped for parts. Specifically the entire front LED/Switch board assembly and the main range switching relay. One the 8800A's was still experiencing intermittent manual range issues so those parts were swapped out. The result is the 8800A is now rock solid and the 8810A is in a sorry state. But it's survival of the fittest a the drifty 8810A was the sacrifice. The 8800A was recalibrated and it's in spec on all ranges.
And here's an interesting tidbit....the LED/Switch board out of the 8810A was labeled “8800A”. More confusion as to what is different, if anything, between them.
holy shitballs! the poor thing was just a wee bit off in the least significant digit and you went all Hannibal Lecter on its ass?
where is the compassion? oh the humanity!
couldn't you have just painted it (or slapped a fan on the back)?
gonna' go hide my drifty meters lest this is insanity is contagious and crosses the border into pennsylvania.
BEWARE OF NEW YORKERS WITH HAND TOOLS!
Fuck pods, fuck the machines that use them, and fuck the people who use the machines. They are a pox on the soul of humanity; utterly unmitigated shit in a convenient, easy to carry package.

thank goodness that getting out of the suck has restored you to your easy going, live and let live, ways.
This video shows that it flashes in DFU mode; this indicates it is STM32-based. Unless they're doing something REALLY stupid with it that requires burning several firmware fuses, the bootloader is stored in protected ROM and CANNOT be harmed. This means there has to be a way to recover it; you are not bricked permanently. Good luck, buddy.

Been a hectic couple of days.
Scored a couple of items from fleabay for a total expenditure of $22.99. They were a bit out of my way - but were close to each other, so a single trip was the aim. I integrated this with a journey to a family dinner, which added 2 hours.
$22
GoldStar OS-7020 20MHz 2 channel Oscilliscope + 2x probes + service manual (Yes, with schematics!).
30kV voltmeter.
Is that stuff any good? I see silly commercials on this side of the pond and wonder. I am not a serious coffee drinker (sorry, bean) as life is too crazy to add caffeine to the mix. When I do, it is some iced coffee first thing in the morning as Flori-DUH never really gets cold enough for a hot drink.
the taste is ok. Nothing superb as George Cloney believes.
What bothers me:
1) How much alu goes in the dump field
2) Probably 40% of what you pay goes in the commercial brand image killmyself.
3) The machine is a machine and will go tits up one day.
A good old Bialetti with a nice fresh grind coffee is hard to beat.
Oooh how can I not?
