Ive blown my latest one due to overvoltage and I wasnt able to fix it. It had no input protection at all. ...................
Im doing only low voltage stuff, ICs...
What was your first meter and can you provide any information on the low voltage that was high enough to damage it?
It was a meter based on the 7106 IC. It says DMM 3000 on the case but you cant really find it anywhere.
The voltage that killed it was cartainly bigger than 1kV. I played with a transformer and 9V battery and somehow I generated this voltage... I dont really know much about transformers, maybe it event wasnt one, maybe just a component that seemed like it. Anyways thats how I killed it and Im sure I wont be doing this again...
I was more tempted to bzy the 139B instead of the C as its cheaper and there doesnt seem to be a jump in accuracy, just in features I dont really need. I woul be a bit scared buying it from ebay. There is not really any warranty on it. Right?
