It came with batteries (3 x CR2032) installed and worked fine until the batteries died, but I didn't notice the dead batteries due to a house move a year ago and only a few weeks ago saw no display when I went looking for it. Putting three new batteries in just gives me a permanent display of all the characters that the LCD has. I thought maybe that I was glitching it when the batteries were going in so tried many times after suitable in-between long wait times (that usually fixes my digital calipers when I put new batteries in them). I took the back off and tried using a 9V battery instead of the 3 CR2032's in case it was somehow because of the way I was putting the batteries in but despite trying many, many times I still get the same display and no reset. :( Does anyone have any ideas? I'm loath to throw it away unless I really have to. :doh: --- End quote --- Check please Xtal 32,768 kHz (it is a little cylinder near chip). Good luck. --- End quote --- OK, how do I check the Xtal? And where would I get a replacement if it is bad? :scratch: |
