Help! Minelab Sov Elite Digital Id malfunctioning, I think

[dualshowman007]

So I go to turn on my Minelab and recalibtrate it on a quarter and the Digital ID meter shows "-1" and wont bounce around from target to target. Theres a knob on the back you use to fine tune the blasted thing, but it wont do anything now. If I turn it off and on again it will work fine for a sec or 2 and then go back to neg 1.
What the hell? Any Ideas? I cleaned and checked all the wires, dry lubed the sockets and looked for nicks and damage in the cables....so what now?
Thanks for any info!

Do you have the Sov set to all metal?

I think Ive tried all settings...I flipped every switch trying to get it to respond or change...Whats your guess?

Mine screwed up too and I had them fix it when I sent in the 'tector for a different repair. It worked for awhile but quit again so I ended up just taking it off.
