Hi all,
I bought new in box Maplin Weather station N96GY (WH1081) from car boot sell. Unfortunately console display doesn't work...
When I put the batteries in, all digit segments and LEDs come on for a 1-2 sec (like initial test) and everything disappear, screen is clear, nothing on it.
My questions are:
1. Is that common known problem?
2. Is it hardware or software problem?
3. Generally is it possible to update the firmware?
Any solution please?
Thanks

With my old one the ribbon cable had split inside the unit. Worth checking it is in the socket correctly by removing the screws on the back.

Thanks LAdrain
Will check it, but was the same effect before you fixed it?
When connect it via USB cable, PC installed drivers but I can't see it in W. Explorer or somewhere in Device manager, just known sound when plug in/out.
I've got electronics background, oscilloscope, but don't know what to check when open it...

It won't show up in windows explorer and will only sbow in device manager as a HID-compliant device but not identified any other way. Try opening device manager, then plugging/unplugging it to see if anything is added under Human Interface Devices. If it is download Easyweather and see if it will connect to the station.
(that's for win7 or earlier, can't say for win8 or win10)

Black is not a colour ! .... Its the absence of colour

Yes it registered in D. Manager in HID but in Easyweather appeared just Pressure (I think even without batteries in sender)...jimi wrote: ↑Tue 21 Jan 2020 5:55 pm It won't show up in windows explorer and will only sbow in device manager as a HID-compliant device but not identified any other way.
