Jog dial not engaging well

[SeaYoda]

I have found that the jog dial on my PT-015 has begun to slip a little. I have repositioned the camera but no change. Is there a quick fix or do I need some new parts? Thanks.

I've experienced the same thing. I just thought it was my glove slipping... couldn't see quite clearly... will take a closer look at it.. Housing has only been under 10 dives or so, so it just might be just the glove slipping on it.. but will be interested in hearing more...

I tested a solution on a dive today that seemed to work well. I cut the ends off a feminine napkin and stuck them back to back, trimmed them to fit in front of the camera and not obstruct the flash. It puts just enough pressure back between the housing and camera dials to allow the teeth to engage. No leaks were created and it has the added benefit of adding absorbing power for any small leaks that may happen. Attached are pictures from inside and out.

Heheh... More and more the mind finds solutions...
I'll give it a try too...
Thanx much...

I also have been using a cut one, and just slide it underneat the camera in the little slots..., so far so good...

I have been using one there as well - can't hurt to be double protected.
