BP model outside temp / clock not working?

[Peg]

I recently had this problem, and Google searches reveal that it's quite common. It's usually as a result of poor solder connections on the board.

I found sellers on Ebay who offered repair, but shipping to & from the USA isn't always cheap or reliable.

So I took the unit out, and then down to a local electronics repair shop. I asked them to simply test and re-solder any obvious problem. They called me back in there after a week, and said they'd been unable to find a wiring diagram for the input, so had simply re-soldered most of the obvious & accessible connections they found on the circuit board.

We plugged it in - and found it working perfectly. They charged me just shy of $100 for the job - which I was happy to pay. A new part, even if it was to cost about the same (and I have no idea what the cost actually is) would likely have all the same poor solders on it.

Just an FYI...

My mate had the same problem. There is a guy that can fix it for $50 unless it's a circuit board it's $250
