It's NOT a false alarm. It's a crap product if you need to regularly
fiddle with it like that to bring it to life. Personally I wouldn't
let them get away with it.

I doubt that the problem is specific to my copy, more likely to be the
same for other computers of the same model. If so, swapping it wouldn't
help.

At 7 euro I'm not really bothered to reset it every now and again. After
brushing up on the instructions I found out that the unit can be reset
without removing the battery.

I remember that I also had to reset my previous "brand name" wired
computer (a Cateye Velo 2) a few times, and it conked out when it got
wet. Given that, I'm not inclined to call the Aldi computers "crap", it
at least continues to work when it gets wet.
