Hello
I have a problem with my Vyper. It has around 700 dives, I bought it new about 18 months ago.
I changed the battery in early January, and I did about 20 dives with it and it worked fine. Then I didn't dive for almost a month. When I went diving again last week, I noticed when I took it from my bag that I could see some of the liquid crystals on the screen, very odd since it should be in sleep mode. I tried to turn it on and nothing happened. Well, something happened but it didn't turn on. Most of the crystals would show on the screen (like when you get it out of sleep mode) for about half a second, then many of them disappeared. It does that anytime I press a button. The crystals that appear are completely random, they change all the time. So it's definitely NOT a screen problem.
I tried to change the battery again, same result. After a few days I realised that when I hold the battery really tight with my fingers, it starts normally. This stays for a short while, I can even go in the logbook and all that. After a minute or 2, most of the screen disappears and I'm left again with random crystals on...
This makes me think the problem might come from contacts with the battery, but it's just a wild guess.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Noe
