Suunto Cobra is out of warranty but only has 110 dives. No longer reads correct depth which, of course, throws off several other functions. Dive shop says it can not be repaired. Claims that he sent 2 or 3 other Cobras in and was told there was no fix. Any other ideas??

One (non-repairable) possibility is the depth sensor. Most computers use the same sensor supplier, and there's been a string of failures over the years. There have been a few threads about this over the years.

They had a bad batch of Cobras come out, and extended the warranty period for that batch. You can try to contact Suunto customer support and see if they can help you.

There have been some reports here that salt can be a cause of sensor problems in Suuntos. How about soaking the thing in warm water overnight?

Hatul gives some good advise. Most do not soak their gear long enough to get the salt out. If after a good soaking it still does not work then the pressure transducer is probably pooched.
