So i opened the multimeter but i don't think i've found anything that looked like a fuse inside, only a diagonal metal bar coming from the 200ma socket. please check these pictures: ibb.co/CBQSvdW ibb.co/VBwGTW8 ibb.co/BwDqvrr | |

Since the low current input is often the voltage measurement input as well it is easy to accidentally apply a voltage source to the low current input and blow the fuse. | |
