It's over 7 years old, can't really complain. I made the mistake of turning it on for a dive at Vortex on friday. After booting up it lit up, beeped at me & told me that I was in deco mode, the depth kept ranging from 1 - 10 feet, LOL
Vortex being a safety stop, I didn't worry about it & had my wifes reg set with me, which has the same console, so I just swapped out & used hers on saturday.
My guess is the pressure sensor has failed. I do have a good LDS here I can deal with, but I'm wondering if this can be serviced cost effectively or if I'm better off planning a replacement?
I have a bunch of dives in it that I never got around to logging. I'm going to try turning it back on later & see if it will let me get to the logs or not.

Well, my LDS has sent a bunch back in for this repair, says it's a flat $502.
Can't see me spending that to fix a computer that's 7 1/2 years old, when I paid $350 for the entire console new. I'll just be looking for something I can afford, either a used one or possibly a different computer entirely. get a wrist mount & keep the rest of the console.
