When you say isn’t working, what do you mean? If you dig around, there’s a thread on here about shorting it such that it resets itself. I have done this to two of them but it depends on why it’s failing/failed. Do at your own risk, etc etc.
I’ll dig around and see if I can find it. You can use a paper clip to touch the positive and negative terminals (wall vs bottom).
1) remove cap
2) remove battery
3) use paper clip to touch wall of transmitter gold strip to the bottom of the transmitter
4) battery and cap back on
5) try again
If the transmitter is shot, I would find little downside in doing the above myself, but not looking for liability if something happens to yours.

US Divers MH8A Transmitter troubleshooting
Excellent....an entirely new one for $120. Is a good deal. Although, I will admit to being a little disappointed that we don't get to hear about the old one being opened and explored..... Well, plus the $50 I paid for the old one, but $170 isn't bad for a brand new one either.
Shearwater transmitter failure
My Shearwater transmitter failed during my last trip. Com failure showed on both my Perdix and Teric for the entire trip of 30+ dives. From first failure, com was never re-established. Based on my superficial visual inspection of the transmitter, I think there was a part (retaining screw?) that...
MH8A (PPS) Transmitter stopped working
It was a few years old....stopped during a dive. Tried new batteries, cleaning contacts, etc. Nothing. Any suggestions?
Possibilities. Worst case, as of a year ago, Huish was replacing transmitters in the ~$120 range.

I record my transmitter numbers on a scuba equipment spreadsheet. The transmitters do get pretty beat up after many years of use.
A friend in Florida sent in an old Oceanic transmitter for which the serial number could not be determined. He was sent a new transmitter for the $120 service fee. This was after the Huish acquisition of Oceanic Are Pressure Transmitters compatible across brands?

I know this is an old thread but I was able to fix my "dead" transmitter by touching the inner contacts after reading this thread. Thank you to all involved!!
