It's all gone a bit blank

Post by Lee M »

Hi,

I've just updated fromn 1.50 to 1.60.
All seemed fine.
Thought I'd have a play with CF35 to change the mask colour.
I changed the value to 0 (which I think may well have been a mistake :( )
That screen went blank and a few button presses got me a bit of gas list in dark blue.
I've tried the reset by tapping a magnet on the back. No joy.
Help!!!

What can I do to get back to normal?

Thanks
Lee

Two options:
- Reset CF35 with the PC software (e.g. Divinglog) to 255
- Reset it manually
Wait until the OSTC is in sleep mode (2-4 minutes)
Power on with left button
left button
right button (Menu)
2x left
right (Reset Menu)
left
right (Reset CF)
left
right (Confirm)

The 1.61beta will also automatically reset this CF if required.

regards,
Matthias

Matthias you are an absolute gentleman.

All back to normal.

Many thanks for this and in general for producing an excellent dive computer.

Hello Matthias,
I'm a new user of your OSTC, and was very pleased to find it in my mailorder on tuesday. I retrieved it on wednesday, and tested in the swimming-pool yesterday (thursday). Proud as any, bragging about my new toy, I'm afraid to say that today, friday, my screen went totally blank as I was in simulator mode... Tried to load it, that worked, but I still have no screen.
Would you have any idea what is going on?
Best regards,
Robby Reyserhove, Belgium.

Hello Matthias,
In addition a little bit information :
today, the computer turns on but only half the screen shows, and there is no way to get into the menu or set- positions.I can only see part of a diving-graph...:(

Can you contact us using info@heinrichsweikamp.com - ideally with a picture? With your description above it could be simple mis-setting of the color values or a hardware problem. In either way, we'll take care of that at once.

Cheers,
Matthias
