From bad to Worse

I got back from Philadelphia yesterday and after reading the decided to repair the cell for tomorrow's diving.

I soldered the wires in and spliced the wires together. I taped everything up and attached the cell and turned a handset on!

Result! Cell 2 was being picked up.

Then I turned on the second handset or rather I did'nt. The RH Set would not turn on.

Checked the batteries with a meter - Fine
Dismantled the battery case - Current leaving both terminals from the case, again used the meter.
Tried new batteries, nothing
Cleaned switches - Nothing
Unspliced Cell 2 nothing,
Respliced it Cell 2 nothing

Spent 1 hour rigging up an OC backplate so I don't let my buddy down tomorrow.

I have I missed anything else, otherwise it's DHL to Silent Diving later today

Regards,

Paul

Have you had the disposable clear handset bodys out for inspection for the usual cracks at the hose joint and possible water ingress.

I say disposable because i'm informed they are both changed on every annual service.
your problem seems to fit the bill.
