Hi there:
I do change batteries, pressure test them and perform minor jobs to dive computers for a living. I´ve been doing this for quite some time and eventually I come across one pacient with firmware or pressure sensor problems which I can not solve because they are beyond my abilities. In the past two months, I received two Dive Rite Nitek, from different owners (I know, they oldies), both showing exactly the same malfunction. The computers show the characteristic "E" on the lower left corner of the display, indicating the computers believe they are over 18,000 feet and, consequently, refuse to go into diving mode. Ocassionaly they drift into "altitude" 2 or 3 (enabling the dive mode), but after a while they return to the "E" legend. I´ve installed new batteries in both of them (CR3032), shorted the terminals and even push the reset button in the circuit board with no success. Anybody has seen this erratic behavior before and can shed some light?
