Tacktick repairs

   Final update, the used but perfect case parts arrived and fitting was straightforward so I now have a TackTick that looks like new, seems to work perfectly and has shown no signs of leaking. Well pleased

	I'm now sorted with a used but serviceable case on it's way to me If 'Greaveasie' is still around I might need some advice, I believe fitting the LCDs is tricky and the keypad needs calibrating after assembly? Edited by Sam.Spoons - 09 Jul 21 at 10:45am

	Another dropped (off the top of the car, at speed, Tacktick here. It seems to be working fine but the front cover (including the mode and set buttons) is missing and it's looking distinctly battered. If anybody has a dead one with an intact case they might move on I'd be very interested (I hate the idea of binning a functioning device).

	I dropped my T110 and the display broke, I'm capable of doing the repair myself but have trouble sourcing a LCD module. Anyone has any pointers?

	Hi, I have same issue : one of the displays is broken on my Raymarine Micro Compass, and no repair services offered through the dealership in Belgium. I noticed your 'old' message on this forum. Could you repair my compass and fit a new LCD or any other suggestions ? Regards Koen

	Actually it was quite cold (7-8ºC) but when it had been out in the sun it registered the most battery hours I've seen. Maybe the direct sunlight warmed it up enough to affect the reading. However, while resting in it's bag it has dropped from 220+ hours to 120 hours over the course of a few days.

	Temperature, was it cold where you left it? Batteries don't like the cold as we're beginning to find out watching the useable range of our electric car dropping away with the temperature.

	Well I used the TackTick last week, the reporting of battery hours seems somewhat erratic but it works just fine so I'll stop being paranoid and just get on with it.

	Mine had been left unused for a fair while, the battery hours display read 0 but it had switched on immediately it sensed bright indoor lighting so the PhV cell is working fine...... I can't work out why Raymarine insist that charging is impossible using artificial light. It does need bright light, in my case I stood a 20 watt LED fitting directly on top of the PhV cell so probably brighter than bright sunshine due to the proximity. Either way it definitely charged the battery. Edited by Sam.Spoons - 20 Oct 18 at 6:01pm
