Thanks Paul, Is this a common sign that the unit is dead? Seems to me I hear many stories of this device dying but I don't remember hearing of the circumstances surrounding their death. I suppose that is part of their price.

Dale, I had the same problem with a talking tape measure about a year ago. After trying all of the obvious fixes, I contacted the manufacture Cobolt Systems Ltd in England. They said that if I returned the broken unit to them, that they would fix or replace it at no charge. My tape was over 8 years old and had survived a hard life being banged around in my tool box at work. I decided since I was in the middle of a home renovation project and was using the tape every day, that I would be better off just buying a new unit. I have included the contact info for Cobolt Systems Ltd below incase you decide to fix your tape measure.

Sound familiar? My daughter bought me one of those talking tape measures last birthday and now this is all it says. I haven't actually used it a lot. One has to wonder what sort of user testing they put this expensive toy up to. It did it about twice a week ago but now that is all it will say. I have changed the battery but same thing.
