problem with megger 1552

[NozSpark]

oh right,ive checked the code on mine looks like 2010,so should still be under warranty

Well give them a ring and they should sort it out for you

I would try a 3rd set of batteries, it could be a duff cell ?

 

[lineman]

Did you conduct a continuity test live?

 

[buddha]

no,everything was dead,first fixed,and it says the unit has 11.9v so im asuming the batteries are ok?

Sell your Megger!!!! LOL (only joking).had a few things wrong with mine but its a good bit of kit!!

Is this the one that has a cradle for the batteries, I had a dry joint on the cable attached to the cradle.

yeah it has a cradle,think ive slightly squashed the red + coming from it at some point,but it seems intact,wouldnt explain the fuse fault though i dont think,i really like this tester so am a bit annoyed,sending it back to dover at the weekend,so im on the look out for a box and bubble wrap and a tonne of first class stamps!!

With mine it kept going on and off, when I checked under the pvc cover of the plug that clips into the cradle I noticed the + was rusty and when I gave a tweak it came off, I bought a replacement at maplins and soldered it onto existing cables, that fixed mine.

That is a good tester to be honest, I traded mine for the 1730 which is not as good imho.
