Armitron MD14307T(R) My screen has gone blank and I know it is not the battery since I put the battery in something else. It has something to do with the display. How do I fix it?
If the watch #/size is not printed on the back of the watch, you will actually have to remove the battery to figure out what size you need. Best regards.
If your Armitron has a set of 6 inset notches around the back, as does my Y121E 20/1791F Armitron Diamond, that's a screw-back case that does _not_ pop off or pry off. You'll need a case opener tool, which is basically a small tool with adjustable-gap jaws that fit into two notches on opposite sides of the case and let you unscrew it. Wal-Mart sells this tool for about five bucks, and it'll pay for itself soon enough, as many watches have screw backs, and this will fit most anything you find. Head for their jewelry department and you should find the tool hanging up with the replacement watchbands and batteries.
The case is probably screwed down fairly tight against its O-ring seal, so make sure the tool is seated properly in the case notches, and turn it slowly and firmly counterclockwise to work it loose.
If your watch is like mine, it'll take a #377 cell, but wait until you've opened yours up to be sure.
