Hi! Not to long ago I began working on a science project to see if the temperature outside affects the electricity (voltage) generated by a solar cell. Its all been going well, until I took a break to test out some electronics for an RC plane, using a homemade chord with radioshack banana plugs. Now when I went back to the solar panel project, I get no reading. I am 99.9% positive that the multimeter is the culprit, and but im not sure why!
Thanks!
It is probably the fuses in the multimeter. There should be two.
If you have a second multimeter you can use, check the continuity of the fuses after taking them out. Otherwise, just replace them with new ones.

Take any 1.5 volts battery to test the DC volt meter . If it does not show any reading,check to see any openned probe wire. You may simply select ohm meter then short the probes together,a zero ohm shall be shown.

Was that a musical chord? Sri…!
If nothing on display, blown fuse (or flat battery?).
Open it up. Fuses should be in an obvious position. You may find a spare somewhere within it as well.

i think the fuse is opened from the circuit or loose or the fuse is gone ,check it and replace,
even if this wont work out,there will be a potentiometer,check it by rotating it on the either side even this does not do,i think the some major problem in the PCB,u have to replace the Dmm.
and take a technician advise while doing this work.
