My Mitutoyo Digimatic caliper is refusing to work and says "Err 05".
Would anyone have any idea what this may mean?


Ayup..it cant read the scale any longer.

Its the equivelent of the Microsoft Blue Screen of Death.

Ive got 4 Mitys in the junk box that all have that error.

Means the circuit board is toast and it costs almost $60 for Mity to
replace it, based on 2 estimates from Mity in Los Angeles


Too bad.

Are the "new mitutoyo calipers" sold on ebay, counterfeit?
