Pokit repair?
First of all, I know this is 100% my fault and am not upset or asking for a replacement or anything.
Secondly, long story short, I am not sure what was going through my head but the first measurement that I tried to make with my Pokit (NOT Pro) was 120VAC from a nearby power strip. This did not work, obviously, as there is a max rating of 60V. My bad. There was a bit of a snap, and now the only measurement that I can make is temperature. I'm sure that I overloaded a pathway in the circuit board, because even after I swapped the fuse for the spare, no readings at all.
My question is this; if I find and reconnect any broken pathways on the board, should the meter return to a functional state? Not sure I would count on super accuracy after this but I would at least love to use it before my Pokit Pro gets here..
Thank you!

Hi Chris Sheasley,
Sorry to hear what's happened to your unit. It is unlikely that you would easily be able to repair your Pokit Meter since it has a multi-layered board inside. It is likely that you have broken a number of components within the unit, and reconnecting any broken pathways on the board may not fix it, but you are welcome to try!

Hi Lachlan;
I kind of figured but also wanted to warn everyone to not be an idiot like me and fry something cool before getting a chance to use it.
I will absolutely try to repair though, any chance you can send me a schematic? :D
Thank you!
