I bought a used Oceanic Datamax Pro. The battery was dead in it so i put a new one in it and it turns on and goes through the diagnostic scroll and after dive 0 it shuts off, should it do this until it is hooked up to a tank?

Allthough the thing is over a decade old.
IMO no ot should not do that.But Oceanic PDC's are quite picky on their battery's.
Could be just you bought a elcheapceanic's don't like them.
Try to find a HIGH DRAIN battery.
Hope it helps

Not sure but I have never seen a dive computer that needed to be hook up to a tank and under pressure to work. Newer Oceanic computers will run through a self test. You will see the numbers count backward when turned on and then go into surface mode.
Oceanic makes fine dive computers BTW but your got a very old one so who knows whats going on.

The countdown is a self diagnosis - if it shuts down, it is due to one of several items tested being out of tolerance. Contact a local dealer or our service department for options.

If this thing is dead, then I will buy it for parts, please. I need the plastic battery holder in it.

aklinz,
You might try PMing the OPs in these old threads you are reviving. The OP was last on SB 28 September 2009, over five years ago. It is doubtful they are going to see or respond to you on SB. The PM might send a notification to their personal email, if their registration email is still valid.
How about simply starting your own Thread regarding the parts you need?
