Oceanic GEO depth sensor problem?

[andrethediver]

As I explained above, the computer malfunctioned on our 3rd dive on the first day, max depth to 60ft and this dive never actually occurred (computer failed to exit the dive mode and continued to log some information for hours at the surface thinking it was still at "OUTR" depth).

I was kidding about the dive log info., should have used a smiley face or something.

It's just that some people never read the OP...

I have a GEO problem that just popped up today. After my dive, I wasn't able to do anything with the computer. It wouldn't go to any of the menus or modes at all. When I went back in for my second dive, it worked just fine tracking the dive. Afterward, I was able to switch between the menus until I hit my 10 SI and then once again, I couldn't do anything at all with it. After I downloaded the info, I pulled the battery and put it back in but same thing. Anyone heard of anything like this?

Yes, I would not use that computer for diving anymore and get in touch with Oceanic...

If the Geo is still in the post-dive transition mode, the user will not have access to any settings until ten minutes have elapsed from the end of the dive. If the computer still will not respond after the 10-minute transition period, we can bring it back for evaluation and service.

It's acting the opposite way that it should. It's letting me access the information during the 10 minute transition period but not after that at all. It's still under warranty so I'll get with my local dive shop and see about getting it sent in for evaluation.

I have similar problem. In general after the second dive of the day the the computer logs "ghost" dives. See in the attached snapshot that the dives inside the red rectangle do not exist.
In adition I can not donwload the dives to the PC.

I brought my computer in and got a brand new one from Oceanic since it was still under warranty.
