Screen freeze on Lowrance Elite 4 HDI

[Fishin' Magician]

Update.... For anyone who runs into this problem, try this fix. To do a hard restart / reboot of the entire system, press and hold down the "+" and the "-" buttons at the same time and then press the power button and then release it while still holding the "+ and "-" buttons down. Wait until you hear a beep and then release the buttons.

This enabled me to get to the inital setup screen and once I reconfigured everything again, it seems to work fine. Not sure that I'd want to trust it just yet out in the open ocean, so I'll try it out in the bay first to make sure that i's working properly.

Not sure why it did the freeze screen thing in the first place, but at least I know what to do if it does it again.

Hope that this is of some help to others. Apparently this is an issue with the Elite 4, 5 and 7. I found this 'fix' on another website from others who have had similar issues.

Best of luck!
