Maybe the silkscreen is wrong? Check the voltages on the pins of the 7805 and compare with the datasheet. |

Another update. For power test 9 and 10, Voltage on the U105 is actually fine. Before I used a wrong point as an Isolated Common (it is not in the manual). This time using a negative leg of a bridge ratifier CR104 did the trick. Power test 3 is actually a mistype in the repair manual (yes, another one). Sink screen is fine, but the manual was supposed to refer to Pin 1 not Pin 3 for 5V measurement on U108. After these measurements I reran the self-test and only saw errors 306.1 and 306.2. Somehow other errors disappeared after diode change! However this was only an open inputs test. I reconnected all the inputs and ran the full test. This time I got more variety of errors. 306.1/306.2 500.1/500.2/500.3/500.4/500.6/500.7 basically current measurements are shot 501.2 600.2 Regular spot checking of measurement functions showed that voltage works reasonably well, 2W/4W ohms work on everything but 2MOhm range, Amps do not show anything resembling input signal. It is almost like the amps path got blown somewhere. PS. I just realized that I forgot to recheck Power Test 4 results. This will be a task for another day. |

Stupid questions: Is the current fuse ok, and did you short HI input to AMPs jack before going with current test? :) Btw, what's the FW rev? |
| nikonoid:
Yes, I shorted Input Hi to Amps and I did check fuses. :-+ I also checked both front and rear connections in case of a switch problem. For the front I was shorting directly into solder pad on the board as my white wire for current is still de-soldered. I got exactly same list of errors for front and rear connections. It sounds like some sort of protection on amps input is blown. There is also another possibility: when meter is going through tests I can hear that one of relays is making a strange sound rather than regular click. Maybe a have a bad relay that is responsible for switching in current? Also I tried to measure resistance between input low and amp as I am going through different current ranges. It did change I think from about 2 Ohms to 90 Ohms, but was fluctuating. Tomorrow I am going to compare it to resistances I get from my other 2002. There is definitely a benefit from having multiples. The firmware in the meter is A5. If you like a copy, I have a programmer and can load it in before upgrading the firmware. |

My older 2002 has A05, thanks. I'm still after miracleous B-version firmware for 2002 (saw once at ebay unit with B02). Resistance from DCI jacks on my 2002 is: 200uA = 1.0194E3 2mA = 119.636 20mA = 14.5467 200mA = 1.2568 2A = 0.3491 |
