Geo Mode Button Inop

SC_Hoaty:

I have a Geo (not Geo 2.0) where the Mode button does not work. It will go into dive mode in the water, but I cannot do things like set the FO2 for nitrox. It needs attention.

I see on the Oceanic site that digital insturments have a rate of $125 for Factory Full Service and Calibration.

Should I work through an Oceanic dealer with this issue, or send it direct to the factory?

Thanks!

Hi SC_Hoaty,

I would love to say I have the answer for you, but unfortunately my Oceanic Geo is doing exactly the same thing.
It still functions as a watch and does show the "wet" display when wet. The problem is that all the mode functions are gone.
I would like to know how you got on with this.

I don't have the data cable for this but was interested to know if the DC was hooked up to a computer whether it would shock it back into life.
Have you tried this?

Funny thing is that this is the model that the factory replaced after my first one decided to eat the batteries (see many previous posts all over the internet)!

Cheers,
Warren

Feels good not to be alone (not!): same here. The "don't eat batteries fix" cost me 65 EUR, and shortly after the button was stuck. I decided to dump it :depressed:
