From what I understand, if something goes into Keysight for "repair", the repair is performed before any measurements are taken of the instrument. When my 4284A LCR meter was sent to Keysight, I did not get any information about the state it was sent, as a software upgrade (support for 2 m and 4 m cables) was added before the instrument was calibrated. The upgrade was free. So they would seem to be doing me a favor by checking the meter, then changing the battery, then checking calibrating it. This is not normal practice, so I'm not keen to send the 3457A in bits, if I can put it back together. M4 screws are very easy to obtain in the UK, I will see if I have some 45 / 50 mm ones, but if not, will order some.
