Default blown Bob Parker ESR meter.

I wasn't paying attention an tried to get read the ESR on a cap in a
hot circuit. Wonder if anyone has made a repair on a smoked Bob Parker
ESR meter. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advanced.

AFAIR the literature that came with mine or possibly on the website states
that this usually takes out the micro.

Advice is also given to add a pair of inverse parallel rectifier diodes
across the terminals to prevent this kind of mishap.
