I very much suggest playing with your multimeter. Look up YouTube videos if it helps. Measure any parts you have lying around and understand what's what. I went back and seen that your meter has a transistor test function. Work your way to that. Learn about polarity and the basics so folks can help you out more adequately!
I can't tell you how many times I hit a brick wall simply because I didn't understand something. But once I can grasp what it is I'm seeing, better questions start to come to mind and I can communicate better. There's awesome folks here who enjoy helping and will continue to try and steer you in the right direction.
One final suggestion, don't box till it rocks.
