Handset Connector Blind Plug Leak
Preventing and fixing handset connector blind plug leaks
Problem description:
A defective blind plug O-ring can allow water ingress, leading to leaks, connector corrosion, or spurious wakeup conditions.
Possible causes:
- O-ring wear, aging, or improper installation.
- Physical damage to the plug or sealing surface.
Step-by-step troubleshooting:
- Inspect the blind plug O-ring for cracks, flat spots, or debris.
- Replace the O-ring with a new, genuine Divesoft spare part.
- Contact Divesoft to confirm the correct O-ring size for your blind plug generation, as newer blind plugs use a thicker O-ring than earlier models.
- Inspect all sealing surfaces for scratches, nicks, or debris before reassembly, and lightly lubricate the new O-ring with silicone grease.
- If the connector shows signs of severe pin corrosion that cannot be removed with a soft toothbrush, contact your nearest Divesoft-authorised Service Technician.
