Hi folks,
I'm looking to fix a broken LCD display and backlight of my EEVBlog / BM235 multimeter.
When I last replaced the batteries I accidentally inserted Lithium batteries. That made the device behave funky and might have killed the screen / backlight function. Looking at the display under an extreme angle, I can see an oil-like flair-up originating from the corner, I've attached 2 pictures. Could that be the result of the backlight burning out and taking the display with it?
Without the display I can't obviously know for sure the devices still functions, but when I switch the device in "connection-test mode" or "EF mode" the audio signals seem to come at the right moment ... so something is still working.
Any suggestions on how to go about, where to find a spare part and did somebody else encounter this?
Your help is much appreciated.
