New back for my Veo 250 ... what are the odds?

[highdesert]

OK, sad story first ...

I just went to put a new battery in my Oceanic Veo 250, and when I started to take the back off, I noticed a crack in it. Bummer! So I thought it was worth a try to dab a little super glue on it. I put some alcohol on a cotton swab to clean my greasy fingerprints off of it (harmless, right?) and the entire back was immediately crazed with cracks. Now really a bummer ...

Minimally, I need a new back for the computer. But I've been reading all the stories of current issues with Oceanic, backlogs, delays, etc. And I have one month to solve this, no more. I want to stick with Oceanic because I dive with two computers, the other being an Oceanic Pro Plus 2. Same algorithm but with the addition of AI ... air integration.

I've poked around and can probably find a used one, or at least a similar Oceanic model, for $200-300, but I'm way too tight for that. Any ideas? BTW, the long straight crack running roughly left-right in the photo was the original one. Thanks in advance!

I hesitate to post this because I think it is too much but Eric has one that has not been dove in a year or so and has no case. I asked and he said 75 dollars. Will post pics if you are interested.

BTW. Sorry about your computer.

... and thanks for the sympathy

I'm impressed ... I couldn't turn up anything looking for it! Confirming size with them now. I'm assuming it's the same, but not specifically listed as such.

Been working on the web since the beginning... I have a zen thing with google queries I actually bought one of those a couple of years ago when I noticed a crack in mine on my veo 200. Still have it somewhere as I haven't thought to change it. Don't recall what site I bought it from. Thought it might have been directly from oceanic, but doesn't look like u can do that anymore. I'm pretty sure that cover is the same for all veo's.

Well my Veo 200 went belly up and they are obsolete, no repair available. I can send you the cover, but I won't be home for at least a week. If you still need it then PM me and I'll send it.

Sounds like you've got it covered but just in case here are the pics.

A couple of my doors have gone bad and I have been able to get them online. The trick is to know it is a door, not a cover.

I think I'm good for now Bob, but if you don't need it as a spare, I may well take you up on that ...
