vinegar and a Q-tip (or some kind of applicator). It does sound like a connection problem and not like the meter cell is going out. I use vinegar to clean battery compartment contacts. An abrasive might be necessary if there's excessive buildup/oxidation on them. Use a very fine grit sandpaper (e.g., 600) and cut out a small circle, paste it on the end of a fresh pencil eraser (on a pencil) and do both twisting and back-forth motions. Make sure the "spring" of the contacts are sprung enough to maintain contact with the battery, pull them gently out if needed. Aside from that, if the problem persists, you're looking at tracking down the intermittent connection. A job. |
