Hey Spyros,
Well considering my state of mind, I'm not worried a minute no matter how deep or long the dive is, since I always plan for failures. A new Unit would not change that, I would still plan for it to f**** up during the dive!
So far I had a solenoid stuck open during a cave dive and then the electronics died on me on that 80m sink hole dive. Both times I ended the dive without any complications thinking already about the hustle of sending the Unit and the looong time without my CCR.
I'm also not angry that my Unit is broken again, well as you said it happens the thing that really p***** me off though is that no matter what happens it's never a warranty case with them. I really treat my Unit like it would be a new born and belive me or not neither times it was my fault or I even had anything to do with my electronics beeing fried and still I always have to pay a sh*** load of money for it. CCR diving is expensive I agree but not like that...
In my opinion there should be a better warranty system...
Thanks for your sympathies,
Patrick

i am also sorry and sympathize with you for having all these problems with your unit. i also own a meg and so far am happy with it, but i have to agree with Gilles that "..it happens".
i have to ask you though. would you feel comfortable if they fixed it for you? i mean would you go and do those deep and long deco dives? its scary to have those thoughts on your head, you'll probably never get the peace of mind you are supposed to have...
i reckon that you should bargain to trade your unit for a new one. even if it will cost you a bit more. only you can "translate" what is a bit more.
if it was me, this is what i would do. peace of mind is priceless. i truly hope this story comes to an end for you. All the best in your struggle mate.
