    Default Bluelab trucheon stopped working, any advice?

    Yesterday I got the thing out the cupboard and it wouldn't work. I replaced the batteries with brand new Duracells. When I screwed the battery cover back on the lights consecutively flashed on. It won't give a reading though. It's still under guarantee but I would rather ask you guys than have to send it back.

    Any thoughts?

    Add a pinch of salt to the water, I know its unlikely your base is zero, but when I first got mine I stuck it in and got nothing, but mine is zero base, other tan that don't know sol

    Fixed. I cleaned the probes with a little Cif cream cleaner rubbed on with my finger. Did it 3 times and it is now back working again.
    It was a simple case of RTFM - read the fucking manual
