Strange behavior :-?
I had a similar problem with the 108 module, when i pressed the lightbutton, the display would go off, and there was a brand new battery installed.
The problem was the battery, although it was new it didn't have the strength to power the watch properly.
I don't know if that is your problem as well, but i found out that these modules are sensitive to batteries that don't deliver enough power.
I bought a professional varta battery for my W-250 marlin (108 module), and had no problems anymore.

PS. is the right battery installed (CR2320)? , sometimes people install a CR2016 because they don't know what to intall. This can give problems too.

in my opinion there's a short...but i could try to install a new cell
Any other tips are welcome.... ~:(

Should be made in 1980....or 1981...do you have any info about it?
Probably the module was used in early Casio from 1979

Here a very similar watch...so this one is from 1980 for sure...in the back is coated...the strap is the same...also the module (83 and 108 are identical)

See here...

Yes, 1980 is about the right year for this watch.
The W-250 that i have is from 1981, i think these modules were made between 1979 and 1982.
My watch has the same numbers . i already thought it looked very similar. :-)
