@BoltSnap's $ 1,400 price is about what it costs right now in the US. It was a bit more expensive but I guess the present parity between US$ and Euros brought the price down somewhat.

@BoltSnap The short answer is no. We have waterproofed a few thousand dive computers since 2005 and none of them has shown any harm or loss of calibration of the pressure sensor. In all fairness, I've spoken with Suunto technicians in a couple of DEMA shows and I acknowledge one of them said...

@dmaziuk, @dmaziuk, Irony accepted. Now, the explanation. The pressure testing shown in my avatar is a Bergeon #5555/10 capable of pressure testing watches (and now also to pressure test dive computers by guys that take it seriously) and was invented to fulfill a specific request from the...

@dmaziuk, If you are being ironic, I am missing the irony (in which case I apologize for what I'm going to say). You are wrong about computers made in this century having a separate sealed compartment. For example, every single Suunto from the D4 all the way to the DX, passing through the D6...

In case anybody still needs it, I am attaching a PDF copy of the TEKNA Computek dive computer. I hope everybody will be able to download it.

@FLORIDER007, We can disable your rapid ascent alarm in your Citizen dive watch. We've done it for a few clients with the same problem. Keep in mind two things: a) as @DivingLonghorn stated in this same post, you will also lose the daily alarm feature and b) since we have to open your Citizen...

@HKGuns, SAFT is a very good France-manufactured LS14500, 3.6V Lithium battery. It competes directly with the industry standard, the TADIRAN LS14500, a 3.6V Lithium battery made in Israel that used to be industry standard and was (and is) used by the old UWATEC Aladin oil-filled dive computers...

@Christozs, I suspect that considering what they charged you, rather than try to extract the broken screw, what probably Suunto Hungary did is just send you a new or refurbished Suunto Vyper Novo. It would result in a cheaper and safer way to "solve" your problem. You can probably tell us if...

@ttsugar I have serviced probably a couple of hundred Suunto Stingers during the last 17 years and I've never seen the code CAL 21 that yours is showing. I suspect that you either damaged the pressure sensor when you cleaned it (probably by scrubbing the seal that prevents water to touch the...

@Christozs, We have successfully extracted many broken and stripped screws from dive computers' rear cases. There are several ways to do it and each case varies. The only problem is I see you are located in Denmark and I'm afraid the back and forth shipping to the US wouldn't make it...

@gajahduduk, I can attest that both, the Oceanic PP2 and PP3 take one 3V CR2 battery and their Oring size is Buna N-028 70 Durometer because we've serviced a few of them with no issues whatsoever. I've carefully looked at the three computers' User Manuals and the three battery compartments look...

@tridacna, Thanks for your recommendation. However, in our experience and to ZippyDan's misfortune, once a dive computer starts showing incorrect depth information the problem can only be solved by the manufacturer. Either by recalibrating the electronics associated with the pressure sensor or...

David, It takes an AS B026 (11/4"x1/16") Oring. You can buy them in any Oring store for about 10 cents apiece, depending on the quantity.

27.5mm(ID) x 1.2mm (cs)

@Wookie, I remember the "transplant job" that your wife wanted to be done with a SS Stinger and a titanium Spyder. Glad to hear that you are happy with the result.

@Kinglake, Now that you say it could perfectly be that I bought a wheel lug nut. I only remember I took a transmitter to HD and ask for any short blind cap that would have the same thread that the transmitter and walked out with a couple of bronze "caps" like the one I showed in the pictures.

@couv I am attaching three pictures of the cap. I bought it a long time ago and I am pretty sure it was at HD. However, it could have been also at the local Lowe's store.

@couv The right Oring size for AL i450T is 1,5mm x 40mm, the same size as for Oceanic OCi and OCS. Suunto D4 & D4i Oring size, on the other hand, is indeed 1,5mm x 39mm. Scuba Gaskets has it wrong.

@tursiops I'm a 70 ish retired electronic engineer and a SCUBA diver since the late 60's and I have been servicing and repairing dive computers and dive watches for the last 15 years. I have learned quite a few secrets of most dive computers as well as where to get tools and parts to service...

It doesn't. I incorporated the right size O ring myself to ensure sealing.
