trafalgar module

[steveh]

Hi Folks

I've a trafalgar, standard day date, that was working. I left it for a while and it now appears frozen, all the led's light up individually when I pop the batteries out but the buttons have no effect, any ideas? I had this watch bought for my 10th birthday, and its my favourite. If it comes to the worst does anyone have a spare module I can buy?

many thanks

Hi Steve,

Can you please post a picture of the watch and if possible a picture of the module (they are usually National Semi-Conductor N.S.C.inside), if I think what is wrong with it its a dead easy fix it sounds like it needs a new quartz crystal which are cheap and easy to replace so you won't need a new module plus it will keep time much better than before.

thanks again

HI klippie

it appears to be totally dead now, I've not yet done anything with the crystal, arghgh

Change the crystal over anyway they are only 50p it'll probably be just fine.
