Any Lowrance Plotter experts out there please?

[Ribtecer]

OK so my Rib has a Lowrance LCX-112c.

Yes I know its aging but it's really useful for speed and depth and its been great for a long time.

Yesterday it wouldn't get past its starter page when I switched it on, and then it just faded away to nothing on the screen.

Very odd, anyone know why, and crucially how I can fix it please?

Many thanks

Sorry for the poor photo, I took it really just for the model details, but this is the screen it won't get past.

Incase it helps anyone else, today I got to the bottom of this, and after some searching;

It was my Navionics chip, the contacts were covered in a solidified gel of I guess salt water and corrosion.

Anyway it cleaned up quite easily and is now working again. Problem is its now lost its setup, so I now need to reconfigure it.

Good for you ... people are so often ready to bin and spend hard earned ... when a little bit of 'husbandry' can prove successful.

My old Lowrance 3500 has an occasional screen problem ... its a known fault with all that series that after years - the screen connector gets 'iffy' .. BUT its plugging on and still working.
