Raytheon/Raymarine "Factory re-set"

[Steve C Cronin]

Does a definitive combination of button pressing actually exist for such a thing? I ask because doing a Google search doesn't seem to yield much light on the subject except for a few silly suggestions made years ago on Raymarine owners' sites which are just dead ends.

My 4000+ came on two days ago showing the usual "STANDBY" with the current heading then after around 15 seconds went to "STLK FAIL" where it froze, the heading not altering.

Looks like either an internal fault on the 4000+ SeaTalk or elsewhere on your network, where something is providing a parameter for the 4000+. Duff connection sounds a likely candidate rather than a case for a hard reset?

Cable tracing / connection checking next? What else is on the network?

If it's a STLK FAIL (which I've also had) I'd go chasing cables and connections before hammering the software.

I eventually traced mine to the tiniest of fractures in one of the wires. It can take a long time.

An ST60 Tridata and an ST60+ Wind. NMEA input is provided by an adjacent Standard Horizon150 Plotter.

All cables are daisy chained and have been substitution checked with a spare lead.

We had a massive overhead thunderstorm the night before it all went phut but the most vulnerable, the ST60+ Wind, was not affected.

? tried disconnecting individual other components one at a time to see if the message goes away? It's probably an incoming signal to the 4000

Yes. It is certainly within the control head. It is with the local Raymarine man at the moment for diagnosis. Trouble with replacing a 4000+, is that it was the last model to incorporate a course computer so it will mean the purchase of one of those too.
