My year old Sigma bike computer stopped sensing motion almost completely today. I've had the occasional problem where the sensor and spoke magnet were too far apart and have been able to fix that without a hitch. But this time all efforts to fix the problem by shifting the sensor and magnet around failed to make a difference. I got them really, really close (1-2 mm separation) and still no luck. I took the display off the base and the contacts were clean and it still wouldn't work after reseating it.
I haven't ridden in any rain in at least 2 weeks so if this is corrosion it was a delayed reaction. I rode yesterday and it was fine. The wiring looks OK as far as I can see.
Could a weak battery do this? The LCD display isn't fading as far as I can tell.
After all the fiddling and fussing I made over it, it registered about 0.1 miles distance traveled on an 8 mile ride so it does seem to have ticked over a few times, FWIW.
