Sounds like yours is broken (or your meter is!). Check the fuse, as
George suggested.

Not sure what you mean by "AVI jacks"? If you're referring to a
connector to mate with the K3 "ACC", it's a standard HD15, as used for
VGA monitor connections. Something like Mouser #806-K86X-EA-15P-30
should work. I've bought mine from the local Fry's recently...
