Galileo Sol Error

[coliseum]

Hi,

I have the Galileo Sol since it was first released.

I happen to use it only in the summer... so last time I used it it was about a year ago.

I just got it out and it seems the battery has been dead for a while... so, I bought a new battery kit and replaced the battery... As soon as the Sol turns on, all I get is "Service Mode Error 6".

It cant be the battery, its new! Any ideas? I am travelling to the Red Sea in 2 days and I need to sort this out! and oh yeah, the "Authorized Dealer" has no clue why this happened.

PS I did align the battery cover... is there something else I can do? even a hard reset?

Thanks!

It looks like Service Mode Error 6 is related to a dead battery

I would check the battery voltage with a voltmeter, and check the contacts on the battery and in the computer for any signs of corrosion.

Did the old battery have any corrosion on it?

Also you may ask on ScubaPro forum.

I have a Sol but have only had to replace the battery once and I sent it away for that as it also needed to be "serviced" as per the manual after xx years and you don't have time for that. I know this sounds dumb but might you have put the battery in upside down? Nah, you'd have tried that.... Just a thought.
