Title: GW Instek GW-8135 DMM repair help
Post by: duldog on October 04, 2020, 10:31:38 am

Hi folks!

 I have acquired a defective GW Instek GW-8135 bench dmm

It has  a display but this not read anything in all settings

It has burned parts in the in the power supply section (R101, R104, Q101) and shorted Q502/Q501 which could have probable caused the power supply parts to fail (I have them replaced with J310)

D101 is heating up (just a zener voltage reference for Q101), it has D16 label which i cannot find any info (BTW it reads 2V when tested)

can you please help me identify the diode? or somebody has the same dmm can you please share some test points or diagram? thanks a lot!

There are no service schematics as far as I know
The Link below maybe of some help

There is a tear down of the GW 8055  here
