Suunto Vyper Problem

My dive computer. Probably has about 1000 dives on it and is 3 years old. After a period of not being used it seemed unresponsive. I changed the battery and it worked for a minute then went crazy, displaying random characters on the screen.

If I remove the battery then it works normally for up to a minute then it crashed. You can see the second indicator begins flashing too quickly before it crashes. Removing the battery and immediately reinserting doesn't fix it. It need a minute or so without the battery.

I suspect an oscillator or capacitor failure. In going to try to find out how to open it without breaking it and replace some components.
