I have an Acu-Rite V300 that has developed a problem with responding to button pushing. The axis zero is achieved by pushing the particular button twice but the display won't respond until it wants to. Takes several pushing and acts sporadically. In fact most other buttons are acting the same. I have yet to contact Acu-Rite about this issue and wonder if any one may know if the buttons might need cleaned with electrical contact spray. The unit works OK but for the seeming slow or ignoring button commands. This unit has not had a lot of use, mostly sitting idle not powered up. So it has not sat overheated. Moisture may have gotten in during one of the tsunami events through the shop, though the water level never got that high. Have not had any issue until this just developed.
I'm not in a hurry to open this unit (it is not under warranty) nor do I need the expense of sending it out for repair. Hoping someone here has a clue to what the problem is or at least maybe the quick cure. Hate to spend a bunch of $ if it is something I might fix myself.
Thanks for any help or smart a** answers. All appreciated.
