Seiko H127 ana-digi problem

[JGJG]

I bought a Seiko H127-5000 off the bay on a whim a couple of years back.

It really grew on me - loved the aesthetic, the quality and the slim profile.

However, when it came to battery time, the thing just died. It was the correct replacement battery, but there's nothing doing.

Does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions? I would love to get this back on the wrist :)

Not sure but some need shorting out after a battery change.

Sent on the run.

There's a parts list with troubleshooting guide here which might be useful: http://www.thewatchsite.com/files/Se...uals/H127A.pdf

There's nothing as simple as an AC pad on these, as far as I know. Trying another battery (don't touch it with bare fingers) might be useful.

These old modules occasionally seem to die for no apparent reason at battery change time. I fear they may be susceptible to electrostatic discharge, so using a grounding strap might be wise in future. Also never hold the battery with either greasy or conductive things (such as fingers): Handle it with plastic tweezers instead.

Many thanks for this and the link. (Greasy) fingers crossed that I can do something with it!
