My 9-year-old Davis WMII Data Logger starting behaving similarly - I
couldn't download any data to my laptop, getting a i/o error. But as
the external humidity gauge was broken, and the WM LCD display had also
just given up, I was very happy to use it as an excuse to buy a new
wirelss Vantage Pro.

My happy story is given in more detail at:

Sorry I can't give better news.

My AWS has been giving me much trouble since on Feb 6th this year it
malfunctioned.
On that date it sent a message saying that it could not retrieve a
certain record.
After that it ceased downloading records.

It is a Davis machine and is connected to a wind vane, a temperature
and a pressure
sensor and a humidity sensor. I have had it since the middle 1990's and it has
never given me trouble before.

I then asked around and was told that the Davis is a very sturdy
programme so it
must be the fault of the pc. I had that overhauled and although it
worked for some
time, after a couple of weeks I got the same error message and again it stopped
downloading data.

I have just sent the data logger to Davis to have it looked at, even
though it is new.

I have written about the problems to Davis in Southampton who are the
agents in this
country, but have had no joy from them. I am very disappointed and
really wondering
what I can do.

Have you any suggestions?
