<P>Edith,<BR>I sent my 4 and a half year old VPro back to Davis in September for
repairs... They charged $80.00 and updated the software, made the transmitter
board repair and replaced everything which was showing wear... (a number
of parts).... and recalibrated everything. The other option was for them to send
me parts for the board alone which would have been $60.00. See contact
info below. Ira was very helpful. Good Luck Michele

of weather data quality issues<BR>Subject: [wxqc] First my computer, now my
whole VP :(<BR><BR><BR>Well, my weather station computer fried 2 months
ago. Go figure - in the same room, 3 computers - one plugged directly into
the wall (DD's), one plugged into the surge supressor only portion of Tripplite
UPS, and one plugged into the UPS of the Tripplite. Guess which one
fried?<BR>So, last night my DH decided to be nice and fix where we had
originally placed the rain gauge (too high - top of 25' flag pole). He
invited the help of only our tractor, and of course,since the tractor doesn't
have hands to catch the falling pole, it all came crashing down :( BOO
HOO><BR>So, now, no computer, and the rest of the Vantage Pro2 Plus is in the
house. It actually looks OK for the most part. The bucket popped off
(looks like the tabs are broken off), and the wind cups broke off. Also,
the lid popped off the computer portion and solar panel - it was off all night
long). The temperature readings and stuff still seem to be transmitting to
the console.<BR>SO, finally my questions - should I send this to someone for a
check-up? If yes, who? How much should I expect this to cost?<BR>Are
there other things I should be looking at? Other questions I should be
asking?<BR>THANKS SOOOO MUCH! <BR><BR>Edith<BR>REALLY going through
