View attachment 34175 Ok so my counter on one of my 2106's went dead last time out, no big deal I have spares and it's a 2 min job with rods in the water. So I decide to see if I can change the battery. Couple taps with a hammer along the sealing edge where it's epoxied together and it pops apart nice and clean. Battery is a CR 2450.....too easy! Grab a battery and weld leads on to new battery. Again too easy. Light comes on but no display....oh oh. Closer inspection reveals a blown chip (the black thing that now has a white circle in the centre) and another blown up piece to the right (3rd to the right). So moral of the story is de-solder leads before welding them to the battery. Good news is they can be fixed though so that is the point of this post.

Or call Scotty and they will send you updated counters.
Those were the updated counters with the on/off button.....batteries just go dead with use. Scotty had provided me with spares I'm just the kind of guy who likes to fix ****.
Maybe it is your pic but that board looks like there is no coating on it.
SV-I'm no electronics guy but the board had no coating, but the enclosure is completely sealed so I don't see any reason it would have to be? Zero evidence of any water getting into the enclosure and I leave these on the boat moored for the whole salmon season.
