Common faults
What usually fails on a unit like the GDM-8261A

Damaged input protection
Blown fuses, resistors and protection devices after measuring beyond the rated range.
Won't power up
Battery, charger or internal supply faults.
Display and keypad faults
Dead or faded displays and unresponsive keys.
Inaccurate readings
Drifted references or damaged measuring circuits.
Test lead and connector faults
Worn sockets and leads that give intermittent readings.
First checks
What to check before calling an engineer
