| PushUp:
I wanted a BM789 because of the extra functionality but I really like the light blue color more than the red so I got both of them with the intention to swap the rubber and have a BM789 with the BM786 colors and then resell the BM786 with the red color. Yes I know I'm vain. In early times I was also that "mad" about design, that I ordered ELMA (a Brymen-Clone with a bright green holster) paying for a 829S the same amount of money like a 869S from Brymen itself in red! :-DD Therefore I understand your problematic situation... :) The german dealer "welectron" offers a FW update for the Brymen BM780 series for 20 Euros plus shipping. Maybe you can "persuade" them, not to look at the colour and/or model number...eventually he/she is even part of the EEVBlog-Forum... bilder hochladen handy https://www.welectron.com/Brymen-BM780-Firmware-Update_1 Cheers! ;) |

Yeah - that ain't ever gonna happen. |

Not to mention the safety implications of people hacking meters and messing around with firmwares. |
