Monacor CM-200 Capacitance Meter faulty

[Graz]

When switched on, shows "1" (out of range) on all ranges instead of
"000". Any suggestions as to where to start troubleshooting?
All suggestions welcome - even facetious ones!

I don't have that particular meter but on my cheapo chinese version I
have twice had to replace a low value smd resistor near the input
stage(open circuit). I assume this fails maybe due to me trying to
measure a charged cap? Some protection? I can't remember the specifics,
I try not to blow my meter up often as its inconvenient.
