HAC4 losing its marbles

Quoted message said:

I've been using this for about 6 months and on Saturday evening it
began flashing weird temperatures, altitudes, heart rates and so on,
though time, speed and distance are still correct. I replaced the
battery but the problem persists. Aside from boxing it up and sending
it in for repair, has anyone encountered this behavior and has advice?

Anytime a bike computer acts like that, the first thing I do is remove the
battery and then reinsert it backward, shorting out the contacts. Doing
that drains any reisdual juice from the system, and sometimes allows it to
properly reset itself. It's a trick I picked up from the original Cateye
Solar bike computer, and it's "saved" many others since. Worth a try.

Thanks for the idea. I tried that last night but didn't seem to work.
I have noticed (since I'm usually wearing it on a band as a watch)
that left on my desk all settings returned to sane. Once it gets
above about 28 degrees C it goes nuts again.
