I have ordered a replacement thermometer/hygrometer component for my failing AcuRite 5-in-1 sensor.. The website claims the component is incompatible with the unit I have and that it only works with the newer version, but after studying the main PC board inside the unit, I don't believe them! It's going to take some modification but I think I can make it work again..

I was able to successfully complete the repair..
The newer version of the 5-in-1 sensor is designed such that all the different components plug into the main PC board and are easily replaced.. The older version (what I have) is not like this, all the components are soldered directly to the board.. If you're willing to remove the plug and solder directly to the board, the old unit is completely repairable with the newer versions' sensor..
I find it quite interesting that AccuRite would change the design of something to be more repairable, seems like very few things are going in that direction..
