sixwheeledbeast Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 I assume it needs a service and a new battery, that's if no ones looked at it in 20 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john.lightbody Posted August 19, 2017 Author Share Posted August 19, 2017 (edited) Not been serviced, never had too, worked splendidly for all these years. Has had just 2 battery changes and the current one is dead, but since power cut last week once power came on it set off, code not working to turn off....

Rulland Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Duff battery due to lack of routine maintenance etc has probably knackered the charging circuit and the pcb, it's had a good innings though!-more luck than anything else I would hazard a guess. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
