content: HmmmmmmYou obviously like the sound of breaking glass and plasticsIf you want to be a little more delicate in your approach... LCD panels may often be peeled apart into their component layers. LCD fluid is not healthy !To see inside an IC or transistor, the belt sander is your friend or for a slower approach, hand sanding by ribbing the component on a sheet of course, then finer grade paperI own the UT-61E and have no complaints about it yet. Decent enough for the low price paid.Aurora

content: Please get rid of the music you cannot stop. It's about the most annoying thing you could possibly have on your blog.Also, please resize images rather than display a small army of high res images like that. It's a gigantic waste of CPU time and RAM on systems which are short of both.And now, back to trying somehow to read it.

content: Quote from: Aurora on May 19, 2012, 10:01:03 amYeah i do love the sound of smashing glass and plastic to smithereens ( Only on these stuff)The only difference now and then is that i wanted to see a living chip not a dead burnt out chip... I enjoy smashing with a hammer not a belt sanderBut yeah i love the UT61E and when i opened the thing up i was surprised to see the number of things lying between the LCD and the board and the extra border there below the main plastic screen on the top (apparently they customize the border to the product model)The internal construction is really not half bad and it's great but best of all it feels like a big tank, and it passes my twist test without a sound... ( A Fluke 73 III failed my twist test even though being a separated rubber holster )Silicon cable probes and fast startup scores my list ( Fluke 73 III fails my startup test taking 3 seconds to boot up )But to be accurate enough i have tested over 160 Flukes 73 III's and they all take a darn long time to startup

content: Reminds me of a story my dad had, of a time when he was certifying forge operators. They would forge a part with a die, then change to a flat hammer and anvil, and flatten a copper block to half height with it. Then dad would take out a fob watch, pop it open and the operator had to lower the hammer to close it without breaking the glass.With this particular operator dad had previously arranged a little differently, and the factory owner and all the directors were present that day to see the ceremony. All went as planned up till the watch closing, when the operator took the hammer to full lift, then did 3 full power blows on the watch, turning it into a smear of metal on the anvil, while the entire foundry turned to see what made the massive noise. All looked on in shock, but dad just ticked the form as "Pass". The particular watch he had that day was a broken one he got specially for it, knowing he had an audience.
