content: AN8002 failed on testing continuity no beep, sometimes show resistance value(53 ohm). If i testing on diode still work perfactly.Do someones have experience for this error of multi-meter.Thanks in advance.

content: I don't have this meter, but maybe take it apart and look for any obvious signs of problems? Bad soldering, some debris inside?I suspect the cost of returning this meter to whereever, unless locally, you bought it will be more than the cost of the meter?

content: it wont beep if it's over 50ohms.put a wire between the sockets incase the leads are bad.

Just wanna verify I got it right (as your English isn't the greatest)Anyhow, provided you did try different probes, I'd say it's either a faulty buzzer, a bad solder joint, or a faulty component.You'd have to open it up and have a good inspection (and possibly some testing with another DMM) to get more insight.

content: well the buzzer should beep when you turn it on or switch ranges/modesso that's easy to test.

content: Maybe the internal fuse is wacked out,I fixed a similar cheapie meter the other day that has shared 200ma current and VsocketThe fuse looked ok but failed on the test

content: My money is on the 600ma fuse on the left gone zapski...If it is blown, where is OP SpyTattoo going to get one of those halfassed circus sideshow midget fuses with the correct value of 600ma?What were they smoking at the ANENG design (save money) meeting for this meter?

content: You can buy the correct fuses from the Richmeter (Aneng clone) store on Aliexpress provided you have bought a multimeter from the store. Otherwise, they wont sell the fuses.https://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/10A-600uA-fuse-for-RM101-102-multimeter/909123_32811804077.html?So, for example, you can get a RM100 (Aneng 8001 clone) for US$14 and then you can buy the genuine fuses.https://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/RICHMETERS-RM100-Multimeter-4000-counts-Back-light-AC-DC-Ammeter-Voltmeter-Ohm-9-999MHz-Frequency-Diode/909123_32794255455.html?This is the Aneng8009 clone:https://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/RM111-NCV-True-RMS-Digital-Multimeter-Auto-Range-9999-counts-100M-Ohm-Temperature-Back-light-AC/909123_32835638876.htmlYou can also get 1A and 10A fuses and cut the leads of:https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/10Pcs-Ceramic-Tube-Fuse-Metal-Axial-Lead-Slow-Blow-Type-Fuse-3-6x10mm-250V-1A/282671916075https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/10Pcs-Ceramic-Tube-Fuse-Metal-Axial-Lead-Slow-Blow-Type-Fuse-3-6x10mm-250V-10A/292272152527but they are slow blow and you probably want fast blow. Also 1A is better then nothing, but it is not 600mA.These ones are fast blow, but glass not ceramic:https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/10-x-250V-1A-Through-Hole-3-6-x-10mm-Fast-Acting-Axial-Fuse/301745786997?https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/10-x-Glass-Cartridge-Quick-Blow-Axial-Lead-Fuse-3-6x10mm-250V-10A/391263039975?

content: Quote from: SpyTattoo on January 13, 2018, 11:13:10 amHi, remember to plug in both the probes into the sockets when you solder so that the rings will stay concentric when you solder the joints. Hope you understand what I mean.
