Shit.. just ordered the same combo. However, Dave did a teardown which did not reveal anything remotely this nasty.
So with the bugs in the software, the weird recovery from over voltage on the ohms range, and now this do we need to rethink Agilent as something to recommend? I hope we get to see inside more of these from others soon.
I wonder if it was just a lazy employee at Agilent... or perhaps it's a Chinese supplier trying to save a few bucks by using old expired solder paste?
That's some of the crappiest silk screening I've seen for a long time, too. I, too suspect that this is why they are being given away, but is it really worth Agilent's good name to do something like this?
Teardown your multimeter and keep us updated!
