Did the handset disintegrate? Did the electronics fry?
Did I say that anywhere?
No.

Did the life support system fail?
Did the computer reset itself and continue to monitor the pO2 and control the O2 addition?
No. And apearantly not for 24 hrs.
I
do call that a failure.
Just my opinion, though.

Sounds to me like the HUD required reset.
Stuart gave the answer to this and the above question.

To fix it as long as your not diving for 24 hours switch them both off for a few minutes then recalibrate them...
Sounds to me like something that you wouldn't want to happen during a dive.
A reset that requires the primary and secondary electronics to recalibrated.
At what depth do you usually calibrate your rebreather?
And maybe more importantly, do you know that this couldn't happen UW?
It wasn't commercial or military hardware that triggered the failure, but a dive light.
I'm perfectly aware that the majority of people do not even remotely care about that sort of thing,
but I find it suprising nevertheless. My intent is not to bash the Meg or Shearwater,
but I do find a failure such as this disappointing.
Someone earlier in this thread commented on the Inspiration, and asked about
the Vision and Cis. So I assumed the discussion included other units.
