Good luck with the super glue... you'll need it. (the luck that is with that super runny stuff that loves to everywhere except where you want it.. ...)

Are you sure it isn't a cracked solder joint causing the intermittent fault? If it doesn't work maybe as a backup plan you could replace the whole power switch arrangement with a C&K toggle?

Yep, it wasn't a cracked solder-joint that caused the switch to be intermittent, turns out I was right, the switch has two plastic parts that clip together and keep the contacts, spring, etc inside it, however the two plastic parts were a bit of a loose fit, that caused the latching mechanism to not latch properly all the time with each push of the power button, the super glue did the trick and now the multimeter powers up reliably, so I'm calling it fixed until it decides to play-up again....touchwood.


And the best thing about that is, I didn't end up gluing my fingers together by mistake.....hahaha.
