Factory "hard" reset of Suunto (Vyper2) Computers Possible?

[esguerra1]

I'm selling my Suunto Vyper2 to my cousin and he wants to completely reset the computer as if it came from the factory - erasing all [my] previous dive history/logs. I haven't been able to find information on how to do this. Unfortunately the SDM software does not allow this capability.

Does anyone know if it's possible? ie. There must be a tiny 'clock battery' that stores all this memory much like every laptop computer has when you change batteries. Is there anyway to reset/remove this clock battery and 'hard' reset the computer as if it shipped brand new from the Factory?

Suunto does not offer anything to perform this function. I have not tested it, but this is hte only way I am aware of to reset the dive log for Suunto computers. Liquid Image Photo

Hey thanks for that MasterofO; I had a look at the site but man, I'm a bit wary of using this program. It looks like a homemade hack. Has anyone out there actually tried this?

tried the suunto eraser on the vyper 2, didnt work for me. keeps on getting time out errors. same errors i get trying out the jdivelog application. But SDM works fine. i tried also uninstalling the driver that came along with the SDM and installing the separate driver from the suunto site. no change.

what am i doing wrong?
