How to fix my FINIS Tempo Trainer Pro?

[@anthhub]

OMG, I have had a Tempo trainer sat in my bag for years not working. It is the older model and has never worked. Defo, trying this trick this evening.

[@swimsmooth]

Let me know if you manage to resurrect it???

[@matematikniels]

Thanks, the gentle pull of the contact did it for me

[@swimsmooth]

Excellent

Thank you so much for this video! I thought I was going to send my son's gift back because the matters wouldn't work. I adjusted the prongs and it works well!

[@swimsmooth]

Glad I could help!

[@markstephens5944]

Cheers Paul - just fixed mine thanks to that, thought it was destined to a watery grave. Now have two back on board!

After a layoff I have learnt how to put the battery in correctly!

[@eberger02]

I’ve got 3 myself. Realised I thought the first two were broken but as long as I never leave mode one with them they work fine. My most recent one has never left node 1. Does make for some use of a calculator: eg. What is 78spm in seconds… also changing from 23.75 to 52s is boring, but I don’t dare leave mode 1 anymore. I’ve already bought 3 just for me.

Thanks for sharing. Interesting to know 👊

I have had some amazing tempo trainers that lasted for years...then occasionally the dud. Sometimes it can be frustrating. Thanks for making a video with some fun tips, which unfortunately didn't work for my most recent tempo trainer that died (2016 model). Sometimes they just die, I guess :)

[@swimsmooth]

Glad it helped - at least for the other ones 👍

Great video. Any tips for getting the battery cover open? I can't get it to twist to the unlock position.

[@amandahoynes]

I've got the same issue!

[@swimsmooth]

My experience here is that once it gets stuck in Mode 3 it’s often dead I’m afraid to say…

[@SallySales-z5w]

BLIMMIN genius - kitchen foil and the upside down trick worked. You just save me $100 🙂

[@swimsmooth]

Lol! Awesome…your invoice is in the post - ha!

[@raulramirezsalazar]

Gracias por el video😊

[@swimsmooth]

Muchos gracias!

[@davidtolman6369]

Thanks for the video. Mine will no longer switch modes. I was in mode 2 and it was working fine in that mode, as I could use the bottom buttons to increase or reduce the time between beeps. Then I went to mode 3 (with a click of the top button, of course.) In mode 3, I get no beep and no response when I push any buttons. The display is okay, as I am at the last value I had last time I used mode 3. But, since the buttons don't work, I can not change modes to return to mode 1 and see if I get sound again. When I take the battery out and put it back in, the trainer remembers that it was in mode 3. Perhaps I can empty the internal memory and back to mode 1 or 2 by removing the battery and leaving it out for 5 minutes or so. Have you seen this before? Thanks!

[@davidtolman6369]

Fixed it! If you have the problem I described above, try leaving the battery out for two days. That seems to be enough time for the memory to be lost. The system starts out in mode 1 again! I have not yet tried to switch between modes. I may just stay in mode 1 for a while.😂

[@MercuryRisingTri]

Well done. Salvaged my 2014 TTP!

[@KennyLow-u5t]

If the yellow portion splits in two, is the tempo trainer salvageable? Thanks for any tips to make it "waterproof again" - 2014 model!

[@swimsmooth]

Hey Kenny - which yellow portion specifically as it's all yellow?

[@sangmatahari5611]

My tempo training stuck on mode 3 , LCD show 010 and can not change anything when i push upper Button, left or right button. Even i try to take off battery , it still stuck on mode 3 , 010. please help me to fix it. Thank you

[@swimsmooth]

This one's definitely dead from my experience - sorry I couldn't be of more help!

[@gaborparlagh8378]

Thanks, in the last two days it started to malfunction, and today it completely refused to switch on even with a new battery. Lifting the contact and adding a pressure layer brought it back to life. I do not know for how long will it work though. Update: My TempoTrainer has some water inside (some fog is visible) what causes the problem. Trying to dry it out but doubt that in the long run it will be usable.

[@swimsmooth]

Try popping it in a bag of rice over night

[@walkingthru]

Mine won’t make a sound- any tips?

[@virginsora2206]

Youre so cool
