Anyone heard of this ?

My 4-5 year old Suunto Vyper 2 computer said low battery. Approx 130 dives. OK, upon battery replacement, the manual says all I'll lose is the personal settings and the time. No problem to re -enter those, I thought. I took it to my local LDS, good people actually, and after battery replacement, all my dive history within the memory section of the computer are gone. I do have my written logbook but the dives / info / profiles history is gone. I'm also told that the computer may not log / retain dives in the future. Suunto's comment is " that happens sometimes ". Anybody have experience with this ????

Sadly this seems to be a common problem with 3 to 4 year old Suunto computers. The software starts to behave erratically, see my post 'Suunto Problems' 20th June 2012.

The response from Suunto is also typical, they don't want to know.
