XLT Voltage Issue, already mailed it back to Whites once, looking for info.

[Lasivian]

About 2 years ago my Whites XLT started showing poor voltage, ie. 10 volts on a 12 volt battery pack.

I sent it back, Whites looked at it, said it was fine and mailed it back after charging 60$ or so.

Recently the voltage started reading TOTALLY NUTS, ie a 12-volt battery pack is reading 3 volts, but the detector seems to work fine (Dug a bunch of clad this morning). BTW, I disassembled the box to check for anything obviously wrong, and when I did I checked the internal voltage to see if it was the little "pinpoints" that touch the battery pack, but inside on the circuit board I read 12 volts coming from the batteries.

Any ideas? I'm a little skeptical about sending it back to Whites again, but i'm not sure what else to do.

thanks

Sounds like a bad connection somewhere..electronics die permanently. Turning on the backlight pulls about 50 more milliamperes. The most drain possible. Elsewise it runs about 90ma. Does it do it with the backlight on. Does it improve with a knock?

good luck

This has been solved, apparently it was a loose processor.

re-seated it and it's working fine.
