Hi
I own a Megger BM222 meter with a fault. It works on the 500V range, but there is no output on the 1000V range.
I am trying to figure out what the fault is so I can fix it.

On the 500V range, I can hear the internal relay clicking when the button is pushed.
When I push the button on the 1000V range, no clicking can be heard.

If you have a BM222, can you please tell me if you can hear the relay click on the 1000V range?
Does anyone have a service manual???

I had a similar problem with a BM 230, worked on everything except 1000v .There's an IC ( possibly a mosfet, can't remember) near the bottom right of the board (near a small transformer) that had gone t1ts up. I've got a non working 222 somewhere. It's about time I took a look at it.
 
I think my BM222 has been crippled. The attached image marks where I think a diode should be. The diode has been cut out. It is wired as an OR gate with the adjacent diode.

I think it should be a 1N914 small signal diode.

Can anyone confirm the missing component is a diode? Part number? @Moley ?
Thanks.
