The error occurs while the meter is warming up and the ACAL step is always 100V. This immediately made me suspect the HV attenuation part, mainly the DAC. Cooling the board slightly, and seeing which component cooling makes it work, made me suspect U302, the LT318 op-amp behind the DAC. However, after replacing it with a different one, the problem still seemed to persist deterring me from assuming the fault is U302.
