I wanted to ask for help on this forum which I believe is one of the few places I could get it.
Last night my meter stopped working properly but it doesn't look totally broken. It does strange things that I try to describe with the help of photos.
It turns on regularly but without putting anything to measure instead of giving the message after a few seconds
"No, unknown, or damaged part"
waits for 15 seconds and then gives the message you see in the picture for another 25 seconds. And then the screen goes white at the lowest brightness.
If you put a component to measure nothing changes.
You can access the menu but it doesn't seem to work properly. For example, if you try to do the "Selftest" the message "Short Probes!" stays on for a while and then returns to the menu.
I checked and the apparatus absorbs over 100mA against the approximately 20mA that a functioning one absorbs.
I'm afraid something happened but I don't have the schematic and I don't know where to put my hands,
Does anyone have the schematic? or can you give advice?
Thank you
