CASIO Protrek

[Silver993tt]

I've had one of these for about 5 years and it's been perfect. However, last week whilst switching functions, it suddenly displayed "OPEN" at around 11:00 on the face. I've done some googling and this relates to the case being opened but it hasn't been. Everthing is solid and sealed. It now only displys the current time (zone) and all other functionality is inaccessible. Is it worth sending to Casio? Cost €200.

Any ideas?

If it was mine, I'd take it to a local jewellers and pop a new battery in - may just do the trick? or is it solar powered?

May cost a tenner and job jobbed.

It's solar powered, on the 'H' level out of 'L','M','H' and working fine on the single mode of telling the time.

Ah! I'm sure it still has a battery though. Perhaps these have a 'shelf life'? Got to be worth taking to the jewellers to see?

I believe they have 4 batteries inside!

Get em all changed.
