Aqua-Vu Jr. Cable Cracked->Fix or Replace?

[hawgTime]

My dad has an Aqua vu Jr that he's used less than a dozen times and the outer coating of the camera cable cracked right where the cable enters the camera housing. He said it doesn't work now. Is the camera destroyed? Can the cable be fixed or replaced? Does he have to replace the camera and cable? Does the Camera/cable from a Z-60 work on the Jr.? What kind of warranty do these have? Will Aqua Vu replace it for free? Thanks.

Hawgtime,

Aqua-View will fix it for free. There was a flaw in there design. Tell your dad to cal there toll free number and they will have him send it in and they will fix it.

Yeah, I would call Aqua-Vu. The hubbies brother bought one last summer and the cable was bad right out of the box, brand new, never used. There was a broken wire right at the connector where it goes to the video screen. He bought it at Capra's in Blaine and they replaced it of course no charge. I would call Aqua-Vu and see what they say.

Hawgtime,

Honestly I'd upgrade it to a Z60 for $100. But if you just want to get a new JR then we do have a few cameras left on the shelf for repairs. Of course it is your call.

FYI: Just thought I would let you know how the call to Aqua Vu went. Since my dad's JR. was over one year old, the only option they gave him was a Z-60 upgrade for $150. They would have replaced the unit for free if it was less than a year old. Anyway. He went for the upgrade deal.

My camera died on my yesterday. The picture on the screen would flicker when the camera moved, before it completely died. I isolated the problem and the power wire inside the cable somehow cut and I managed to solder the wire together and patch it all up. It looks ugly now, but a heck of a lot cheaper than a new unit!

I would think that if you dried out the camera well (disassemble) that it would regain life. I know cell phones do when they go down the hole!
