Hey,
I'm new here, and slightly new to electronics. Got a new multimeter and made the stupid mistake of having it on current measurement and plugged the probes into a wall outlet. A spark occured and I noticed the negative probe was slightly burnt and there's now a small chip in it. Otherwise the meter works completely fine. Should I get a replacement probe or will it be okay to continue using it?
Thanks a lot,
Matt
