I have damaged my temperature measurement part of multimeter by high AC current.  I have been measuring temp while my probes for voltage measure was conected to the multimeter and circuit with 230V. I know ... i have been stupid.  |O Now It displays only OL .

I have changed transistors Q1 and Q2 whitch was exploded but i have also damaged rsistor R39. This resistor is absolutely cooked and I don't know value of this one. Please can somebody help me and tell me value of resistor R39 ?

Thank you very much for your help and sorry for my bad english.

R39 on my unit is 100 ohms.

With the small creepage distances on this meter it would be a very good idea to unplug any other probes when the temperature sensor is in place.

Exactly! I have never seen a worser piece of shit! (Apart from the GS-PRO  :-DD)
Kesh:
The Vichy is not shit. I have succesfully built and debugged many devices with it. Maybe Simon got a duff one. QC is usually what you pay most for, more than design, components and construction. As my work isn't mission critical, this isn't a problem.

It is not the best DMM in its price bracket, neither is it shit.



Simon:
it is an unreliable piece of shit end of  :-DD mine looked just fine, but didn't work.
