Lowrance elite 7 hdi, help !

[lineman49]

Just installed a new elite 7 combo hdi. I had it on in the simulator mode & it worked fine. I shut it off & then turned it on a 1/2 hr later & now just the first page comes on says "Elite Lowrance" & won't do anything else, won't go any further & won't turn off. Any ideas on if/how to do a reset or start over ?? Thanks for any info.

Unhook batt for a few min and see if it reboots with next turn on

I wold pull the power plug on the back of the unit to start try that first. if it dont work go to this link and find your unit and do a hard reset.

New problem , Now the unit turns off randomly, I can turn it back on but the have to reboot it like starting all over again. Anyone else have this problem? I also heard the elite 5 does this same thing. I should have kept my 20 yr old LMS. !

Lineman I would double check your connections to make sure they are clean and tight. Maybe a wire is crimped or weakened. Check your grounds too, and battery connections. Does it happen when starting engine, or rough ride etc? I think the newer electronics are a little more sensitive to voltage variations.

also check for updates on the lowrance site

What I was told is that the lawrance imaging sonars overheat and then have issues
