anyone ever seen this stuff and how do u get it off? an electronix guy off my boat says alchohol and a swab, cause that's what we use on the subs life support monitoring equipment

Looks like it's leaking and eating away on the contacts. Does the cell becom 'wet' when not in use. If so I would just replace it as it'll not only eat away on itself but also on your oxyguage.

I had this two. It was on a Brand new sensor and it never worked correstly so I didnt dive it. I tried to clean it and it didnt work. You can attempt to clean it but a better bet is to chuck that sensor and get a new one.

I had the same issue on a really old sensor.

Same blue stuff on the sensor. I clean it a bit with a tissue but the sensor was dead after i tested.

Still using it... but flooded my 2001 version... got a newer 2005 version off eBay actually has several case design improvements.

Back to your original question: the sensor is leaking ... need to replace it... I had the same thing happen to my orginal oxyguage sensor when I received it pseudo-new. You can get one from Oxycheq... my replacement arrived quick and worked great.
