Lick your finger and use it to bridge between the inside of the body and 
the pick-up contact (make sure that both places where skin touches metal 
are wet). If the meter coil is intact, the needle will move - very 
little, but enough to see.

Also try to throw the needle further up scale to see if it might stick 
somewhere.
