EEVblog #170 - Agilent U1272A Multimeter FAIL

Dave has rotten luck with test gear for review failing. What’s up with his Agilent U1272A Multimeter? FOLLOW UP: No, I did NOT damage the meter with ESD or anything else, and this is not an isolated incident. Other people on the EEVblog forum are reporting the same problem: FOLLOW UP #2: Agilent have admitted the problem is with the range switch glitching and have fixed it in firmware. They are now offering either a replacement unit or a FREE USB cable to all affected users so they can update the firmware. An excellent response from Agilent, well done!
