The only burnt component I can see is the thick film resistor on the right hand side of the main board. The thickest track on the flexible cable on the left hand side has vapourised and been replaced by a wire jumper. I've removed the case and someone has been there before me. neither the Ohms x100 or Ohms x10k ranges work at all the meter stays on the left hand end stop neither range can be zeroed, not even a little bit. the Ohms x1 range works but reads very high a 10k resistor reads as 8.2, a 100k resistor reads 68 and a 1M resistor reads about 700 this range can be zeroed with the ohms x 1 pot fitted new 1.5v battery connected 15v supply to the 15v battery contacts all AC Volts ranges seem to work OK except the 10 range which reads about 10% high all the DC Volts ranges seem to work OK, although the 300, 6 ranges read increasingly high There are some faults and I need some advice to help fix it. I've now cleaned it up and checked it against the collection of junk that passes for test equipment here. I bought this meter as seen at a boot sale (£8), so I wouldn't expect it to be perfect.
