Line in my display

[Jeff In North Georgia]

About two months ago, I started the machine and found a narrow vertical line on the RH side of my display. Tried shutting it off, also took out the battery for a few minutes but it was still there. Battery was a little low. Charged it and the issue went away.


Now two months later I'm having the same issue again but nothing I've tried will make the line go away.
Where it is, it really doesn't affect my hunt or display of normal readings on the screen.


Anyone else have this?
Were you able to cure it or does it need to visit it's maker?

Go figure... Yup... One of mine did that... I had to replace the display.

Mine did that as well and it’s was a bad display.

Jeff, contact Minelab with serial number and give them a description of your problem and see what they say. Minelab has been very helpful to me and my CTX 3030 is out of warranty. The Technical folks at Minelab will help you find a solution to your problem.

Sent them an Email.

Mine is ~ 1 year out of warranty.
They said it would be ~$300 including the return shipping as long as nothing else is bad / wrong.

Since its not in an area I commonly view, I'm in no hurry to fix it at that price!

Yea, I understand. I will keep a lookout for parts available on Craigslist, Fb marketplace and read some books to see if I can find a solution in some reading about that problem ur having

This might work Jeff. I myself never have used one. http://www.ebay.com/itm/LCD-Screen-Panel-Display-Replacement-Minelab-CTX3030-/192437362833

I've been busy around the house for the last couple of months doing some remodeling and haven't been out detecting.
Got out last weekend and to my surprise my line was gone!
But my joy was short lived. It came back in the same place but was twice as long this time?
I was only out for ~2 hours but the longer line came and left 3 or 4 times during the hunt.
Is this a poor connection problem somewhere or is my display on the way out?

Thanks!
