The PCB is covered with white silkscreen. What’s the purpose? Making understanding the circuit harder? Or what?
Part 2:
Is it only my impression, or did the specimen got worse from the previous video? It feels like the value went even higher.
---edit:
Nope, my eyes are not deceiving me. The value is going up in Dave’s lab. Here are histograms of 21 values from each video:
It seems that the value is actually higher even after tearing it down.
Yesterday user shapirus reported a
BM037 showing absurdly high values in crest mode. If I understand correctly, BM036 and BM037 are very similar meters. That gave me an idea: what if Dave’s BM036 is experiencing a similar issue
and is stuck in crest mode? I imagine noise when switching to DC may be recognized as inrush peak and reported. That doesn’t explain why the value is slowly rising.

totally, i noticed this too... it has increased over the two videos and importantly since the customer sent it in.
there's a component failing surely?
