Scubapro DC12

Hi,
excuse my bad english, I had my last English-lesson 15 years ago
Since some years I have a Scubapro DC12. Last weekend on the Bodensee the
LCD was very difficult to read, a sign blinked, and the depth showed "133"
on a 45m-dive. Yesterday I bought a new battery and changed it (it is a
newer DC12 for "self-change battery"). Now I can read the blinking sign.
It is "ft". The DC12 changed from metric to imperial measures. It shows
the depth in feet and the temperature in fahrenheit. When starting the
DC12, it shows "ED12 P6", before the "crash" it showed "DC12 P6".
I asked my Diving-Store, they said, the DC12 must be sent to a shop in
Swiss to reset it. But it must be able to reset such a computer without
special equipment? In the manual there is nothing about changing from
imperial to metric measures.
Can anybody help me? The reset in the Swiss will cost 35 Euro + shipping
THX

Scubapro supports no longer the DC12. Consonics in the Swiss
http://www.scubapro.de/news/consonics.html is now supporting the
diving-computers

I'm surprised to hear that there's even still support for the DC12. When
mine started to 'act up' (it told me I was still at -3m when I was already
back at my car) the shop simply told me that it wasn't possible at all to
get it repaired.

Anyway I think the only way to get it fixed will be indeed to send it to
Consonics. I went through my old DC12 manual and nowhere is it indicated
that you can switch between ft. and m.
Have you tried contacting them to ask if you can do it yourself?

Consonics says, that the ROM must be reprogrammed. I Think, I will send my
DC12 to Consonics
