After a shallow dive (35 ft) my Galileo Sol from Jan. 2011, when going through my dive record for the last dive, the dive was about 12 min. too short and had made a sudden depth spike to 196.8 m / 645.7 ft some 10 mi. before my ascent.
It was in "Gauge Mode", but during my next dive 5 days later it never came out of the surface mode, where it just shows the time and it didn't record any depth (did measure temperature though)
48 hours later I tried to switch it back to Computer Mode, it immidiately said "Altitude violation" and by going to the "Altimeter" function, it said I was at an altitude of -990 m / -3248 ft.
I noticed the battery was a little low (after 2½ years and 280 dives (long & cold)), so I decided to check out the 3 V battery. It said 2.75 V and I put it back and since then I only get the following short message on the screen:
"Service mode
Error 06"
I bought a new battery, checked it (3.05 V) and replaced the old one - BUT still get the same message on the screen "Service mode - Error 06"
It's obviosly not the battery (and yes I have placed it correctly and aligned the slot with the marker), so what could it be? A faulty pressure gauge?
Kind regards
