I wouldn't call that *obvious*. Also, when pressing "RANGE" it sometimes simply turns off completely... --- End quote --- Err, that is not the described fault, and shutting off when changing range is not normal either. --- End quote --- A different symptom, but probably the same bug --- End quote --- Agree with Smokey the Bear, make a short video showing the behavior. If you have found a new problem and I am able to replicate it, there is a good chance we could work with Brymen to address it. --- End quote --- Sure, I made a video now. There are two things you can see 1) weird jumping of the measure value after a second or so and 2) now random resetting of the DMM when switching through ranges, instead of turning off o.O https://www.veed.io/view/261c54f7-b4a1-4e5e-89cc-e05c4cb08251 Fun fact... I am unable to reproduce the 0 Ohms readings anymore. I should have filmed that earlier :-//. However, the resetting behaviour got worse as you can see. This *only* happens around 66x Ohms (666... >:D). 1 happens regardless of the resistor value, but seems unusual to me and I never saw such thing with other DMMs, what do you think? Here's another video of that: https://www.veed.io/view/e9a4ccda-ac7c-4aba-a357-9880bcae5435 --- Quote from: joeqsmith on September 23, 2022, 02:33:34 pm --- --- Quote from: c0d3z3r0 on September 22, 2022, 11:48:21 pm ---@joeqsmith @EEVblog is 78911 the most recent firmware? --- End quote --- As of three weeks ago when I posted that last video it was. I'm not a distributor and am in no way affiliated with Brymen. The only way for you to know for sure would be for you to ask them. --- End quote --- Thank you. I already sent them a message. I guess that will take some days. --- End quote --- I agree with he others that said get a replacement. Looks like you light have gotten a dud |

--- Quote from: Antrus on January 04, 2022, 06:53:57 pm ---Greetings to all. I have a question about measuring resistance with this multimeter. At first it shows a slightly lower value, after a second the final one. Is it so for everyone? Firmware 78908.In reviews, he showed the value immediately. --- End quote --- --- Quote from: J-R on August 22, 2022, 08:34:25 am ---Couldn't reproduce the issue on my 78905 at any of the range transitions. ~655.xx does show as 0.622xx for a full second before settling on 0.655xx. Also noticed the same behavior if you switch to mV and back at that approximate value. --- End quote --- So, I am no the only one... --- Quote from: floobydust on September 23, 2022, 10:32:21 pm ---Pressing the Manual range button might just be aggravating a bad connection inside. See if it's the rotary switch, try applying some pressure, a gentle squeeze to the switch instead. --- End quote --- As I said, this *only* happens around 660 Ohms. --- Quote from: joeqsmith on September 24, 2022, 12:15:03 am --- I only saw the one value in the video. Odd it wouldn't reset like this with other values as it seems like a mechanical problem. Sorry but I wasn't able to replicate it with the meters I have. --- End quote --- Check the second video. There's two values, as described by J-R. How can a mechanical problem be tied to a specific value? ;-) Anyway, I alread had contacted Welectron. Let's see what they come up with next week. Just to clarify, I don't want to blame Welectron for that Problem, I'm sure they'll give their best to solve this :-) |

There was nothing shown that suggests the meter would behave differently with another value. If it is tied to a specific value as you suggest, I would suggested leaving the leads open or shorted to show that. So yes, it appears like a mechanical problem to me. |

Ahh, I see, you don't believe anything you haven't seen on a video. Got it..... Then watch this - no mechanical problem! https://www.veed.io/view/1b8810ab-a6ca-44b4-90ac-27d78e7bf110 (Now you tell me, that you don't believe it's one and the same DMM? *scnr*) |

Notice you removed the leads, adding one more variable to the mix. Also the technique changed along with where you were pressing. True, I don't know what firmware was installed on this meter. Was it indeed different? |
