My Uwatec's Aladin Prime has been a problem since the begining. It lost IR communication only 2-3 months after purchase. The first battery worked quite well but, after replacing it (200+ dives), it worked for 8-10 dives only... I sent it for service and it returned suppousedly repaired but just as it had left my house...
Some weeks ago I read somewhere that both problems where common and that the battery issue had something to do with the see-through cap. Hopless as I thought it was, I painted the cap in black and... miraculously, it worked and the battery has now 50+ dives with no problem.
So, when I thought things were a bit in order (resigned to IR download), last night the right button jumped our of the case (thankfully in my house, while rinsing the computer)...
I am suprised Uwatec can build something so poorly...
Any advice? (besides dumping the computer in the trash can).
