When I get to where I'm going I have to throw it in a cup of ice water for a few minutes to see anything. Is this a problem you guys have on your better computers?
That happened with a meat thermometer I was using recently but I've never had it happen with any of my bicycle computers...even on tour where the computer is in direct sunlight for hours on end. I can't say about other computers but the Cateyes don't go black.
