Hi,
My Suunto D4i is already second hand and is having issues, mainly the depth sensor is reading wrong. So I decided to take it apart, I took everything out, cleaned all the contacts and opened the depth sensor. On it, there was a white paste, kind of similar to PVA glue but no idea what exactly it is. The paste was full of dirt and the electrical components underneath seem a little scratched, not sure fixable. Either way, I want to put it back together now but since I took this white paste out I need to replace it and I have no idea with what, I guess its main role is to react electrically with the pressure?? If anyone knows what it is and if I can replace it, I would really appreciate the help.
Thanks
