--- Quote from: c0d3z3r0 on September 23, 2022, 12:40:15 am ---Well, my BM789 simply shows 0 Ohms then. I wouldn't call that *obvious*. Also, when pressing "RANGE" it sometimes simply turns off completely...

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

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.

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

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:

--- 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.

Thank you. I already sent them a message. I guess that will take some days.

I agree with he others that said get a replacement. Looks like you light have gotten a dud

~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.

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.

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 :-)

Both videos show 664 ohms. 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.

The second video *clearly* shows 0.6401, then 0.6639 - exactly as both J-R and Antrus already described.
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*)
joeqsmith:
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?
