Stealth 0 #1 February 3, 2005 Just got my new Neptune. Rev 2.2.0. Device is good, I like it, but found some funny bugs. When screen is on, in silent room I can hear very silent sound coming from Neptune, if I put it close to my ear. When screen goes off, sound dissapears. This sound is very weak, does not makes me worry at all, just curious. Catch one bug, only when backlight is on, upper button becomes very hard to work, two other buttons works well. Hope this bug will dissapear in new revisions. All in all unit is very good, I impatiently waiting to try it in air... but winter is still here....

kelpdiver 2 #5 February 3, 2005 I have an mp3 player that does the same thing - the backlighting is slightly noisy for some reason. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rsibbald 0 #6 February 3, 2005 My Neptune is fine, but my Pro-track makes a quiet noise when it's on. Unless you can hear it over the propellor noise I wouldn't worry about it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Floats18 0 #8 February 3, 2005 I don't think the noise is a big deal... Timex Indiglo watches do the same thing. I think that the sound is just caused by the operation of the screen and that you really can't do anything to 'fix' it.--- and give them wings so they may fly free forever DiverDriver in Training Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think that the sound is just caused by the operation of the screen and that you really can't do anything to 'fix' it. I bet that sound is a dc-dc converter. The backlighting doesn't run at 1.5 or 3 volts or whatever the battery is. -=-=-=-=- Pull. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
