Hi I misinstalled the battery and the poles differed And it destroyed the multimeter, and when I checked it, it turned out that the C36 was on fire I do not know whether it is a diode or a capacitor and I do not know any information about it and it was replaced with another diode, but the multimeter did not work
doesn't matter what it was, you sent reverse voltage into the chipset and killing it, If you like to poke around your multimeter anymore, install a diode parralel to the battery in reverse polarity so if it happens again, only 0.7V can pass to the chipset witch is unlikely to destroy it. Use 3A diode for safety because if the diode melts your chipset will die.
