MH8A (PPS) Transmitter stopped working

[tursiops]

It was a few years old....stopped during a dive.
Tried new batteries, cleaning contacts, etc.
Nothing.
Any suggestions?

Did you try syncing it to a different computer?

Good suggestion.
Yes I did, unfortunately. Should have mentioned that. Thanks.
Also, one of the computers checks for the transmitter battery voltage, but it shows "not available" so there is no transmission coming from the transmitter that the computer can see.
The two computers being used are a Teric and an OC1.

If it is an Oceanic, they will replace it for $120 Support » Service If it is another brand, I don't know. I replaced a transmitter when it died after 7 years, I found it a good deal.

One more dumb question:

Is it pressurized when you are trying to sync it?

Yeah, that's a good deal. How do I know if it is an Oceanic? They all look alike....

Yes, and it was pressurized when it stopped working, too.

I'm not really sure if you don't know it's origin. You could go to the Huish return portal and try the serial number, you have nothing to lose. I've had very good service from Huish, unlike others on SB.

Does not matter just sent it in. or I'm my case I just drove over to their facility and gave it to them.

You must obtain a RMA to return to Huish, I'm surprised, you should know that. I would be surprised if Huish serviced PPS transmitters branded as Shearwater, Aqua Lung, Sherwood...
