Well I picked up a couple of non working Nova pat testers they both fail at the bot stage one just gives a line of boxes and the other halts at Internal relay Fault, well I am amazed how some people can get even the simple things wrong on one of them the thing I noticed immediately was the 240V socket had the Neutral connected to earth and the earth connected to neutral how you even get that wrong as they are colour coded wires so now I wonder what else is connected wrong Hmmmmm time to do a side by side comparison and see Oh yeh one of them has a fair bit of corrosion around the battery area so that battery was junked it only had .22 V instead of 3.6V
