After seeing the China Post Track changed from "tracking number generated" to "Invalid tracking number", I was able to open two cases - one per meter. Let's see how this goes...

(edit) I was just refunded for both meters.

Another deal on the meal....

Check out Multimeter AC DC Voltage Current ANENG Q1 9999 Counts True RMS Digital  #Unbranded

From different dealer... it's so cheap.... but again could end like open cases...
If one can make knowledge flow than it will go from negative to positve , for real

Smells like a scam, as they are setting a UT-139S for US$13.99...

I want to know what "venting the ball" means.

Still: Only 55 feedback, all private listings. One of them says "Very Nice Hat!", another says "Sweet kicks".

I'm skeptical.

Signed up just to post this warning -- You've all victims of what's called an "eBay account hijack" (search for that on Google for more info).  What happens is this:

1) Emails/passwords stolen from security breaches on other sites
2) Hackers use them to try to find eBay and PayPal accounts using them
3) Finds seller with low # but all positive feedback not currently selling anything and gets access to same PayPal account
4) List tons of auctions for 50% less than anyone else
5) Send a PayPal payment from the hacked account to their own stealing all the money
6) Real seller or eBay or PayPal catches on and disables the account(s) and closes auctions.
7) No one gets shipped anything, original seller account now ruined, usually eBay permanently bans them and PayPal stops processing new payments.
8 ) You wait until the last promised delivery date passes when you can file a non-receipt request.

Note: If seller is suspended and all auctions deleted (not just ended), you may be able to force through a refund request before that end date; the eBay system allows that. If the auction page can still be brought up then you have to wait.

Moral: Never ever buy items priced at 50% off others from a seller that has never sold anything similar before and has a lot of similar things now for auction for super low prices.  This happens all the time unfortunately.

eBay:
"We had to remove this listing from the site and you're not required to complete the transaction. If you've already sent payment, the sale should process as normal and you don't have anything to worry about. If you have any questions about delivery, please check tracking or contact your seller.

Ah it was too good to be true.

Thanks.for the details but, unless something is actually done with our shipping information, we are not necessarily victims but bystanders (or, should I dare to say, opportunists?) to a now known very bad scenario.

That is what is hard in these cases; about a year ago I bought a legit UT61E for about 50% of the price from a seller of general goods in Hong Kong.  Obviously the odds are unfavorable, but not null. That and, at least in my case, this seller was sent to me via eBay's direct marketing e-mail, that is why I ended up buying it.

Fungus, I simply reported a problem and selected the option that I didn't receive my item. eBay opened a form to try and contact the seller and I simply typed a message explaining the situation as if I was talking to him/her. eBay followed through their process of opening a case and then, about half hour later, I was informed the transaction was cancelled.

eBay's software is crap, it couldn't handle a deleted listing or seller that has vanished. Phoned them and got a credit "due to an invalid tracking number."

The prices have been going up on these DMM's and this model is simply not worth a jump to $36 USD.

You can still get cheap meters with lots of functions, the last meter I reviewed (Mustool MT108T) is less than $11 from Banggood. The construction is rather cost optimized, they do not use the DT0660 more, but a chip with build in calibration memory.

That was the explanation they provided to me as well.

I agree these meters (especially the Q1) is not worth this price. But this is the EEVBlog effect - and nowadays other vbloggers that are pampered by the Bangood marketing machine. In Brasil we have a saying that reflects that: "talk ill or talk praise, but at least keep talking about me!".

Ummm... Dave said the Q1 is bad, for various reasons.

(and I agree)

Exactly. IMO because of this, there are lots of aficionados that will try to get one and explore. Well, its novelty features also help.

Help:
After using it for some AC current measurements, now my Aneng Q1 doesn't switch anymore to the Voltage mode :(
- When I start it I hear/feel the relay !
- If I plug the cable to uA it makes a beep
- If I plug the cable to Voltage/ohm/.... it does nothing, it remains in DC mA mode ...

Any suggestion?
Thanks

adynis Check serviceability of Q4-Q5 (A6sHB) mosfets. They are marked with a red arrow in the photo. You can replace them with example AO3402. Good luck repairing! :)

OTOH if you've blown the clamping transistors it might be a good idea to find out what caused it.

I am also curious what triggered the issue ....
I measured some 230V AC current. And I remember I also pressed the Range button, and it jumped to Manual mode ... , and then ...  I don't remember, but .. while having the cables connected to the AC device, I might have turned the multimetre off and again on, to change it back from Manual to Auto ( although I'm not 100% sure if I really did this ....). My AC measurements went fine ... only the next day I observed that the DC was not working anymore ...

I have had this meter for a while now and have nothing but good things to say about it. Banggood´s shipping not so much. Seems someone played football with the meter before shipping and packed a dirty dusty and cracked meter in my box and shipped it. Not even brushing the dirt off the storage bag. Since the plastic over the LCD had a crack I got the money refunded and got to keep the meter for free. I had originally paid 28 Euros shipped for it but now that it is free it is even better.

They updated the LCD to a brighter model at some point and it seems I got the newer model so I have no comparison. I have seen that the printing around the Amp plugs is different on some meters which seems to determine which version you have. According to some posts online the format (decimal placement or something) for the amp readings was weird on the first model but I have not noticed anything which also leads me to believe I have the newer version.

I really like the meter. In my opinion the screen is bright and easy to read even when the sun shines through my windows. The batteries it came with have lasted over 3 months of using it 10-25 minutes a day. I also used the batteries in a camera flash a few times which uses a ton of power so it does seem to have a decent battery life. I haven´t noticed any calibration issues and the only thing that bugs me is that it automatically turns on in auto shut off mode which is quite short. Yes it is easy to turn on without the auto off but I always forget to do that until it starts to beep.

People online have done mods to change the backlight / text color of the lcd, add a lipo rechargeable battery, and add a LED flashlight (a mod I will be doing soon). So it is easy to mod new features into it which is cool and I want to try adding a esp32 or some kind of wifi mod.

I have the same issue. When i so connect my COM probe to the gate of Q4 it switches to volt as long as i keep the probe there. Would this not indicate that there is constant current to the gate, which fails to break by the relaid/solsnoid?
If that is logical then the fault is in the solenoid.

Another succesful repair based on @indman advice - thank you very much!

I my case, I'm 100% sure the transistor was blown while I was doing some AC current measurements (from a 12V wall wart transformer), so there is a common thread here, and a million billion % sure I did not just short the source with the mutlimeter... which probably means I did. The fuse was blown in either case. Thanks to this advice, I was able to easily verify Q4 was blown (shorts across all terminals), and replacing it fixed the problem.

By the way, I can confirm that uA/mA ranges on the newer version are different. On the mA/uA socket you now get 99.99 mA (I guess that's a proper mA range) and 9999 uA. Older version had (I think?) 999.9 uA and 99.99 uA instead, so it's a weird tradeoff (less accuracy for a proper mA range). Haven't seen much info on how good the <1uA accuracy actually was, so maybe not much tradeoff actually.

Hello everyone!

My Aneng Q1 was unused for some time, after that, it just selects the functions and incorrect reading in the DC and AC scale.
For example:
     12V DC my Aneng reads 15V DC.
     110V AC my Aneng reads 128V AC
     It does not read Capacitor, Diode, Continuity, Resistance, Frequency and Duty Cycle.

Could anyone give me a hint where to start??

Thanks!!!
