Fix Megger 1552 ?

[timo1]

Hi,
I am thinking about buying a megger 1552 MFT which is described as not working. It turns on and self tests but no tests can be performed, but I don't have any more info until I see it next week. My questions are...Has anyone had a similar problem, and does anywhere do a fixed fee repair service? If I can work out how much to repair then it could be a nice little buy. Many thanks. Tim

Could just be low batteries, Had the same problem with one at work giving strange readings or just not testing at all!

If its not the batteries, has anyone ever sent theirs to megger?

I bought one from eBay and it didn't work as the seller described. I complained to him and he gave me some money back but I noticed that Megger had an extended warranty on their website so I registered it for this and then sent it to them to fix.

I gotta say it came back like brand new. New case, straps, leads, the lot. The only thing that wasn't new was the battery cover. Brilliant service.

Mine had a blown fuse (after lending it to someone), the display indicates this with a fuse symbol!

How much though? £50?

£250?

From eBay? after my partial refund-£150 i think.

the repairs didnt cost anything from Megger.

I could get the mft for around £100. I'm thinking if it costs me £150 to repair still a good deal, even better if it's the batteries. Might just go for it, he who dares rodders....

be warned, i was lucky as Meger were doing this extended warranty. check first before buying.
