Had my 1350 for over 3 years now and today is the first time anything like this has happend. (I just hunted yesterday too and no problems) I was about 1 hour into my hunt today and I get a signal that is good enough to make me stop and check it. When I look down the screen on the left side is fading! From iron to a nickel almost can't be seen. I didn't know what was going on so i changed batteries just to be sure. It still kept happening. Turn it off then back on and it looked just fine for about a minute then my WHOLE screen starts to fade to nothing from left to right. All except my ID arrow at the top. I still got threshold hum in my HP and the machine still works just fine, even dug a wheat cent while it was acting like this all with NOTHING on the screen, just looks like it is turned off accept for the target ID arrow, like I said, is bold as ever. And when I go went to pinpoint the proximity bar across the top is bold as ever, but the depth bars are hit and miss. Example: the blocks over .5 through 3 would show up bold then 3.5 and 4 weren't there, then 4.5 and 5 were there bold. I noticed finally that I if I squeezed (gently) the housing it would all show up normal. But when I let go it would start to all fade away again. Always from left to right. Maybe a connection loose?
I'm a little scared, but I'm sure if anything is really wrong with her Garrett will fix her no problem. But still she is my baby and she's sick (can metal detectors get the swine flu?) Though if anybody would understand it would be you guys.
Any thoughts are welcome and appreciated. - TG
