Oh. You mean it's not calibrated. I didn't notice, but I calibrated it like 3 days ago. That's weird.do the battery port up- all I was saying was theres no tic for the PH set on the pen thats all

I think it's getting in through the display window. It's really flimsy. It's been a while since I had my original pen, but I don't remember the window being nearly as flexible.

Every pen will die if you let it dry in nute solution.its full of salts it dries and becomes a rock.

I'd guess user error. Looks like you were drowning it.

Dummy. Not knocked or dropped at all, mind you. Always hydrated with KCI liquid. Calibrated more than recommended. I was even making sure that the water was lukewarm when I washed it out after each and every use, because I noticed cold water seemed to shock its brain.

Also if it's user error then I somehow lucked out with the first one I owned that I treated with much less care for 5 years.

And let me be clear. If I still had my original pen and read this thread, I would be defending the company like I did in every other thread. The newer pens aren't built like the old ones. Take care of the ones you have and try to make them last forever.

Is there a pen that the storage solution doesn’t leak out of if it tips over on its side? I should probably use a cup or something now that I think about it.

Try hanging it.
