GM328 Transistor Tester cannot be Calibrated, no matter what. It was bought assembled "soldered already" from eBay seller GM328 never goes to the 2nd stage "Isolate Probes". It always stays at the very 1st stage "Short Probes". Without calibration GM328 Transistor Tester is useless! Solution: While others recommended desoldering the SVR5-04 ESD (Protection Diode Array) in my case it didn&work. The actual problem was the wrong valued resistors located just below the MCU which in this case is the ATMega328p. There are a series of resistors down there with values (from left to right when you are looking from the top) 680ohm, 470K, 680ohm, 470K, 680ohm, 470K but in my case, there were valued 680ohm, 470K, 10K, 680ohm, 470K & 680ohm. I replaced those resistors and my GM328 worked like a charm. Take a look of the mentioned resistors
