So classic Sunday Arvo experience. I do not use the meter that much, well hardly ever. Go to give it a task just now & hello no display... Did the obvious, reloaded with fresh batteries, still no luck. Even pressing the Setup/brightness button = nothing.. other than lots of beeps & carry on! This thing is for all purposes still brandnew looking so am i right in thinking the OLED is toast? I also own a Keysight OLED U1253B which has been well used, bought at the same time as the U1461A & its fine... the disply is still perfectly bright & nicely readable at the bench where it lives & is my goto because its great for this old fart's eyes.
So what chance it's replacement time for the hardly used U1461A & are the displays for them essentially unobtainium? I've seen the YouTubes on repairing the U1253B which it seems many folks have had to do but not so much the U1461A. I don't really want to have to deal with Keysight yet and looking at Dave's teardown for the U1461A there's a lot in the meter so surely worthy of repair or is it just the recycle bin for something hardly used (& a lesson to me for buying Keysight stuff)...
