Try putting it in water that may pull it out of log mode since the contacts did not get out of log mode.

Try this take the battery out again and use a metal paper clip and short the computer contact out for ten plus seconds then reinsert the battery and see what happens. After that trade in for a new computer.

Hello NCadiver thanks for the advice but I have a doubt, if I do, is that like a short circuit ?? and maybe could wreck the IQ 400???.
Yeah I want to trade a new computer but here in Perú is hard and expensive to found one of them, just can I say there is not a dive center here, can you imagine the situation .
I really appreciatte your advices thanks

That will short the circuit but it will not damage the computer. I have some friends in Brazil with the same problem. Happy to help out.
