On any SWR meter in a tuner that gets to reading incorrectly or not at all: 
Check the diodes for open ones.  If you leave a tuner connected to your 
feedline and antenna when a storm passes over, you may have zapped a diode 
with a static buildup on the antenna.  Many of the diodes are only rated at 
60 volts, and are germanium, similar to 1N34.
