We've got a Jandy Aqualink RS Wireless (not PDA, but older wireless) controller that came with the house when we bought it 2 yrs ago. A few months back the controller started rebooting itself constantly. I didn't know what was going on so I unplugged it (it was the winter anyways) and left it like that until last month. I plugged it in and now it comes on, but it just tells me the Firmware version and never gets to the menu. I've replaced the 9Volt battery in the main control panel but it didn't help. There are some instructions for changing the dip switches, but I'm not sure about that...

What I need to know is, does anyone repair these things? The pool supply company that sold it to the previous owners want $700 for a new one and claim it cannot be repaired. Now, I'm a computer programmer and from what I see, there should be a way to upgrade the firmware on this thing, which may fix it, but I can't find any info on that anywhere... We'd be happy to pay someone to fix it, but we can't afford to replace it at these prices...

Can anyone help me with some info?

Thanks!

Eddie
