My Metrawatt Meter MR works fine using the 'Red' setting, but is dead =
using the 'Black' setting.  That means it works in the 'sensitive' but =
not in the 'normal' range.  I conclude that the sensor itself is =
working, because when switching to the 'Black' setting some kind of =
filter (small hole) turns in front of the lens.  Looks to me that this =
'filter' just dampens the light by 7 steps.
Would I be able to fix that myself with just a little screwdriver and =
clean that filter or is there something more involved?

Thanks in advance.
Jorg
