So, the mfd wasn’t showing the chart. AIS info was there, radar overlay was there but no chart detail. I have had this before and removing the card, blowing some contact cleaner on the pins and reinserting the card have sorted it.

This time no joy with that but I was playing around and discovered that if I view the split page showing chart and depth sounder, the chart is there, visible and all normal functions are possible.

The unit has the most recent firmware. It’s 2012, v5.69, I know not that recent but it’s the latest for this now unsupported unit.

I discovered this issue when checking time / date on the mfd as I have also just realised that my raymarine gps has just gone over its rollover date and so isn’t showing correct date. It’s not been a good weekend.

Any thoughts on the chart invisibility? I know the gps antennaissue is only fixable by getting gps data from somewhere else or replacing the ray star 125.

Thanks
Dave
