This was my first one I purchased. And my first fail

While testing some 100uf caps at 350 volts one of the caps did not get enough discharge time. When I connected the test leads the tester failed to come on. At least this is what I think happened.

In the pic you can see a programmer I purchased a few months back and have yet to use it.
So I think my first attempt is to grab the schematic of this tester and install a header on the board.
I will attempt to communicate with the processor.
Been a long time (1990) since I have even attempted to read and program Atmel chips. And even then it was a complete different beast back then.
At least this may give me a chance to learn a few things.

As said in my above post I have a lot of catching up to do. And a lot of back reading. If anyone would like to give some pointers I am all ears
