LX7 post update problems

I know about the post below about the update and it seems like most peoples lx7s and 6s are working great. Mine not so much….. Now I will say im not totally sure if its the update that did it or if something else is causing this (if you have an idea please let me know) so heres the deal……

Before i used it on the ice (after i updated it) i was messing around with it at home in simulator mode and it would just freeze up. Once it would freeze nothing would work, no buttons no nothing…..i had to power it off by unplugging the battery. Now this past weekend I was up on URL and i went to power it on and put the transducer down and boom…..it froze…..power it off and try again…..boom it would freeze again. I tried to trouble shoot it (maybe its the transducer)….so id unplug the transducer and just run power….it would work for a little bit and would freeze up again. I tried different batteries, anything i could think of and it kept doing it. Now for the weird part…..today our last day we went out in the portables and i no longer had the flasher i borrowed from the owner of the outfitter we went out of so i tried it again. it froze twice, i unplugged the battery to turn it back on then all of a sudden it worked…..and worked all day long after that. i am seriously so confused…..i dont know if the update has anything to do with it? transducer? batteries? obviously im going to email marcum to ask, but has anyone else seen this or other problems post update?

thanks

The last update I did on my 6 did to same thing…Per Marcum, I reloaded the update and it worked fine after that….It’s worth a try…..
I forgot to add….I re-downloaded the update file….my old was corrupted somehow…

i will give that a shot, thanks!!! i emailed marcum and just got like a pre-written email about it being a battery problem, how to tell if a battery is bad, stuff about chargers.

ill try a different install of the update

reinstalled the update….so far the lx7 has been in simulator mode for over 30min and hasnt froze up. im able to go through all the menus with no issues, i think this might have been the problem….thanks again Mudshark!!

Was on the ice yesterday with a buddy that just got the update on his and it’s impressive in our opinion. A lot crisper looking screen. We thought actually mode 1 was crisper than mode 2. I believe 1 is open water mode and 2 is ice fishing mode. But we’ve always thought open water mode was better even on the older updates. And I run my 9 in that mode still.
