I bought an infrared thermometer from ebay. It doesn't work - just gives a U6.1 code when trigger pulled. I contacted the vendor and explained it was defective and they sent me a youtube link on how to use it.

I watched the video but since mine doesn't work it didn't help, surprisingly. You pull the trigger, it displays a targeting red laser and the temperature is displayed whilst the trigger is pulled. Mine doesn't do any of that.

I explained again to them that the targeting laser light doesn't come on and there is nothing displayed (except the occasional U6.1). Today they asked for pictures of the unit and its packaging. Since I kept it all - I can play this game.

The themometer is made in China (of course), I'm not saying it's cheap but the supplied AAA batteries have started to disintegrate. That's a first.

I think that's why China has such a great economy - you buy two of everything to get one that works.
