The way to open the transmitter is not the destructive one (you risk damaging the threads in the cap which would only escalate the problem). It's better to drill two 180° opposite small holes in the cap and then use a spanner wrench to unscrew it. We have open many "condemned" caps in...
@Steven Bird,
The B026 Oring is, obviously, circular. However, the battery compartment and seal slot in your Genesis React are "square". What you have to do is spread first a thin coat of silicone grease on your B026 and then slowly work your way installing the circular Oring in the "square"...
@Brewingfisherman,
Fo sure. Let us know what do you need to be pressure tested. You can contact us at service@divewatchdoctor.com or give us a call: 954 470 7841.
I believe there is no way to check the battery status other than waiting for the low battery symbol to show up (they are different if it happens on the surface or during a dive). Pag, 23 User Manual.
If you installed a new battery in your Oceanic, the computer operates "normally" and you can go through all its menus, change its settings and check the dive log I would continue to use until you can afford the new one. I've seen many dive computers losing their "backlight ability" and still...
At Divewatchdoctor we have been servicing all Suunto dive computers for the past 12 years. We service any "D" series Suunto, Stingers, and Spyders as well as the older models like Mosquitos, Geekos, Cobras, Solution, etc. Our service includes changing the Oring (even the odd-shaped used in the...
I agree with @Kupu. The Oring for the cobra is AS568A B=026, 1 1/4"ID x 1/16" cs, BUNA N, 70 Duro. You can get it for 3 cents apiece at www.theoringstore.com
The gap on your "ear" shaped rear cover is too large. Ocassionally, we have noticed smaller gaps than yours in the Geo computers. I suspect one of the plastic latches (just out of memory I believe there are three of them) might have not latched properly or could be damaged. I would advise you...
I don't know the exact specs of that Oring but I can assure you it is metric. Every Oring in any of the D series dive computers that I have come across is metric. I would remove it and measure it's inside diameter (ID) and cross section (CS) using a caliper. You will probably find it in the...
@JMBL,
Nitek Q has a Lithium polymer 3.7V rechargeable battery inside. Lithium rechargeable batteries that I know all have 3.7V voltage but they come in many sizes and flavors. Do you know which one is inside your Nitek Q? I'm asking because we recently replaced the lithium 3.7 rechargeable...
Do NOT take it apart. None of the "contemporary" dive computers, such as your Suunto D4, will lose its data even if the battery goes dead. Unless the D4 is totally inoperative, you just need to install a new battery and, of course, get a download cable (which are unreasonable expensive).
Lithium batteries don't leak. We've replaced many lithium SAFT 3,7 V left for years inside several of the oil-filled Uwatec Aladins and none of them leaked.
@RNININF,
Assuming you are referring to the Sherwood Amphos, yes the Oring is a special size and almost impossible to get. Is the same size used by Tusa Zen and Oceanic Geo. My advice: don't try t cut corners and buy the Kit on eBay from Battastic ($ 9.50). Once you get the Oring, measure it...
@Milan Abraham
We have experienced the same problem when servicing some of the old Aladin oil-filled computers. A 3V battery will not reset it. However, using a SAFT LS14500 3.7V battery (the same battery model that goes inside the Aladin) does the trick much easier.
