| How to take apart Voltcraft/Metex 3650B |
| (1/6) > >> |
| chicken:
I have an old Voltcraft/Metex M-3650B with a faded LCD that I try to take apart and see if cleaning the LCD contacts would fix it. However I can't figure out, how to remove the big selector switch |O Any ideas? I already tried to pull hard, harder with pliers, levering out from the front with a screwdriver.. |

Try to lift whole board from case. Selector switch is fastened from another (recently down) side with seeger ring. Georg |

I can't see a seeger ring. The board is held in place by the sandwich of front dial and wheel on the back. |

I have a similar meter. See this post for pictures and it may help you get it apart? I gently pried it up using a flat blade screwdriver. https://www.eevblog.com/forum/chat/metex-m-3610-repair-help-dmm-won't-zero-properly-in-ohms-and-dc-volts/ PS. I haven't fixed this as I somehow misplaced one of the boards. :palm: |

Thanks, those pictures were helpful. Pulling hard with pliers from the front on the center of the dial worked. I had to put the case back together first to be able to firmly grab it with enough force. |
