I have a Cateye Astrale bike computer which I've been pretty happy with. However, a couple weeks ago, it got rained on and, unless its coincidence, I think that might have caused some problems.

When I started riding it after the rain, it stopped registering speed, etc. I suspected the sensor had gotten out of position (both the cadence and speed went out so that is two different sensors). It still didn't work. That's when I suspected the water problem, though I've occasionally gotten caught in light rain before without problems.

I removed the module and wiped everything as best I could. Eventually it started working again. However, even since then I can't be sure it won't lapse again. Often it will do so for a few seconds. Other times it will be longer - generally just pulling the module off and them putting it back on gets it going again. But this problem makes it impossible to do accurate measurements.

Any ideas on how this can be made to work more reliably? If not, any recommendations of what to get which would allow input of old odometer info (I don't think the Astrale allows you to do this for some reason)? I have to have the usual speed, distance, odometer, max, avg, plus cadence. I have considered getting one that includes a heart monitor so feel free to make recommendations on that too.
