For a very first step, but in brand new batteries, or fully charge your pack.

As a second step, I've used Minelab Repair twice, and they are great, and they are fast.

And, be sure to listen to all the advice here, a lot of members are incredible.

Will be sending it in for service. Its been fine for a year and all of a sudden This CTX is possessed.
Most of the buttons Don't respond, I can turn it on and still hunt but can't change any settings, its stuck in the last mode it was in, except when it changes modes on its own. When I was hunting the volume limit came up and started moving down, I kept trying to increase it but it just went to 1 and stayed there. Couldn't get that screen back up.
But I did find a 14k ring, couldn't pinpoint (button doesn't work) but was still able to use to the coil to get the general area.
