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..

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

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.

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.
