See if you can get it working _off_the_bike_, move the magnet over the sensor by hand, see if
the display unit sees a signal. If that works then there is something wrong with the placement
on the bike.

Assuming you still aren't getting a signal - check the contacts the computer has with the handlebar
socket, often if it's very humid these can corrode a bit... I used to shove my computer inside my
glove, and then drop all that into the helmet. The sweat still in the gloves corrodes them awfully
quickly. If this is the case you don't need to *clean* them, just give it a rub with a bit of cloth.

Check you have any batteries installed correctly (correct polarity), especially in the sensor.

I've seen some pickups where only a very precise spot on the sensor actually worked with the magnet,
the other 3/4 of the body was not active - so if you don't have the magnet positioned *exactly*
right the reed switch never switches.

Of course the sensor/switch could be stuffed.

anyway, let us know how it goes
