Default Powertap says "---"

I've been having some problems with my PT SL on my past couple of rides and I'm hoping someone who's had the same problem can fill me in. I don't have access to the manual that came with the PT as I'm moving house and in temporary accommodation. The unit works perfectly for between 1 and 3 hours, but then the computer screen will say "---" in the current power display and "--" in the current speed display. Then for a while it will intermittently work for a few seconds and then go back to the ---. Eventually it just turns itself off.



I just replaced the battery in the computer a couple of months ago and it doesn't appear to be low on juice. Is this likely to be a problem with the computer, the wiring harness, or the hub? Is there a quick fix?

Thanks for any help!

I've had this happen with a fraying wire in a harness as well.
