I have installed and used my fish finder for about 4 months without any problems at all.
Yesturday I was on my boat the day before I had used it almost all day long and turned the fish finder on. The night before I had turned down the screen's brightness and then turned it off without setting it back to where I normally use it. That is the only thing i can think of that may have caused this problem:
As I said I turned on the unit yesturday morning and I was using the unit to display depth, after about 15 minutes the screen turned dark and I thought that maybe it recognized the settings from before, but very slowly so I went to change the brightness and it was already set on high. So I then lowered it to see if the screen would go from low to high brightness and light up. It did not. Then I turned the unit off and turned it back on about 4 times and every time after about 5 or 10 minutes(The intervules got shorter)that was the brightness timing between from being normal and going dark, it gets so dark the units screen unable to be seen.
Then I decided to restart the unit to the factory settings thinking it would delete any settings I may have saved accidently. It began to work as intented but, I noted that when I hit a bump or something the screen would sometimes go back to almost black.
has anyone experienced this? Is there a wire that is corroded or a wire that is not getting a good connection? please verify that this is not a known problem and please let me know which wire is for the units display and I'll try striping it and reconnect it and see if it was just a loose connection.
(also it was very foggy out)
