Rigol 858 resistance and diode measurement issues

[Mortys]

Good afternoon. First, I apologize for my English; I am using a translator.
The problem is as follows: when I select 2-wire resistance measurement, it immediately shows 5k while open-circuit; if I touch the probes together, it drops to 0 ohms. In the video, you can hear the relays clicking upon startup, and then the resistance reading jumps between the terminals.
In diode mode, with the probes open, it shows a voltage of 1.175 V.
Has anyone else experienced this or can anyone help me? Rigol's service is terrible.






thank you

Some 5 K when open circuit would suggest a defect with the meter. Open terminals should read as overload / open.
Only some 1.2 V as maximum voltage in diode mode is disappointing and could be related (e.g. same defect).

after watching 12 seconds of a 15s video of a scope booting I gave up.

I was interested in this rigol meter once, just because it does not have a 300mm deep case, so I looked into some more details. And overall it is just a horrible meter. somewhere on this forum there is a link to a playlist of 10 video's about various deficiencies of this multimeter.

It's true, it's garbage, and on top of that, I've already sent five emails to European technical support and they haven't even replied...

The big display generates interest, but even in working condition it has major problems and shortcomings.  You should return it and consider something else.

And even with the latest hardware revision not everything has been solved.
