Mail it to Dive Rite. For small screws, a good set of jeweler's screwdrivers pays for itself in lost aggravation and saved time.

I think sending it to Dive Rite or Dive Rite Express are your best options. I don't think using an EZ-Out and Heli-Coil on a dive computer screw would be something I'd try.

argggggggggggggg.......
this is the worst day in my "days of purchasing scuba equipment" category
the folks at DiveRite messed with the computer, but the screw in question stripped
the slot into which it fits
they can't guarantee that it will be water-tight ever again
they are also offering me a trade-in option for a Nitek He, even though
i bout the Nitek 3 used
still.... arggggggggggggggggggggggggggghhhhh

Take the trade - you KNOW you're going to do it anyway.

I think Tom's got it right - A working NiTek He (with a trade-in discount) on the wrist is better than a flooded NiTek3 on the scrap heap.

I have confidence you'll find a way to 'grow' into it - weren't you posting a while back about opinions on computers for trimix before you bought the NiTek3?
