Did a 75m dive today.
Delrin computers
40mins into dive, on the ascent HUD flashed red at me and I noticed primary was dead.

Ran the unit manually and after 5 mins the primary came back on. It reset itself and displayed no stop.

The batteries were new and worked fine after the problem.
There was no sign of corrosion when I opened the unit.

I feel this is a serious problem and wondered if anyone else had this on the delrin handsets

Its exactly what used to happen on the old nickle and the later Anodized hand sets.

There will no doubt be a load of guff following about batteries and voltage load drain blah blah, but I fixed my one with a new mother board. Using the same battery that had failed before it worked just fine.
