After over 15 years of faithful service, my Phoenix computer went crazy during a dive trip to St. Croix. All the depth and air pressure readings became very inaccurate. Does anyone on this board know of any place that might be able to repair this old computer? I tried Orcadivecomputer.com but they don't seem to be in business anymore. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

If repair is not possible, then I'll be in the market for a new computer. I'd like to find one that uses the same algorithm, is air integrated, and has a large, uncluttered readout. Any suggestions as to a modern computer that fits these criteria?
 
They have been out of business for years now. I like you are still using a Phoenix, love it. How ever I must have dropped it onto the deck and broke the battery cap, now I'm seaching the internet for a replacement, no luck so far. Quite a few years ago I had the same problem as you have. I believe it was pressure sensor, it's not replaceable. At the time I was able locate a new computor.
 
Both my Orca Phoenix computers went bad this year. One had a back fall off, which revealed some corrosion, the other stopped working on my recent trip to Philippines - in mid-week. At least I had backup. So if I can't find a repair, I'll have a battery cap for whomever needs it. Some time ago, UNDERCURRENT mentioned a repair site, but when I attempted contact, I never received a reply.
