2nd Hand Suunto D9 wont turn on

[Treygonz]

Hello, I just bought a 2nd hand Suunto D9 which I saw in the web. I received the unit in Time mode. I havent read the manual yet and was pushing the buttons when the unit turned off. I cant turn it back on. Is this a dead battery?

Treygonz,

It very we'll is possible that the battery has died. Do you know when the last battery replacement was performed on the D9?

Best Regards,

Chris is way smarter than myself. I think he is right-dead battery.

I just purchased a new Suunto D9 and the same thing happened to me, I pressed and held the mode button trying to get aquatinted with the features going through the manual I don't see a reset.

Matth33,

What is the serial # of your D9 and when did you purchase it?

Best Regards,

Chris can correct me if I'm wrong, but Suunto will likely not accept a second-hand computer for return or repair. I replace the batteries by myself, and it is not actually that difficult. Using a standard watch back removal tool (I purchased from ebay), it is possible to remove and replace the battery, checking the o-ring. I accept liability for doing this, and if you do, you will have to as well.

What I'm curious about Chris, is if Suunto accepts liability for a computer that floods after Suunto has changed the battery. If not, the only reason to send to Suunto for battery replacement is the comfort that it has been done "correctly".

While I really like the D9, once it goes, it will not be replaced by another Suunto product.
