ohm reader fix

[Ryan Kelly]

hey guys. yesterday i dropped my ohm reader on a hardwood floor and now whenever i plug an atty into it and flip it on it either reads 1 or 8.8.8. so I'm assuming i broke it. anybody know how to fix this or do i just need to buy a new one?

mostlikely a wire inside or something internal from the drop. id just buy a new one to make sure when messing with it you dont fix it improperly but thats just my opinion.

If you can remove or disassemble the cover, just look for a broken wire and where it was soldered. Reattach and test.

Otherwise, get a new one.

look at the center pin on the unit you can see it will take a straight screwdriver run that out and in a few times. A friend of mine dropped hers and it was doing the same thing I opened it up found no wiring or component issues I then adjusted the center pin in and out a few times and blew out the connector and its been working ever since.
