Lowrance Elite 3X problem.

I was kayak diving in Bragg over the weekend with my boys.  The finder had been working great, but then it went to a white screen and only read a depth of 3' when I was in deeper water.  I turned it off and back on, but then it was like the back light was out.  I could tell it was on, but the screen was super dark.  Came home, charged the battery, and tried again.  Same thing.  So dark, I can't read the menu when it's on. 

I'll call Lowrance on Monday, but in the mean time, anybody had this happen? 

Thanks.

Thanks.  I did check that and it's pretty much pristine.  I did goop it up with dielectric grease before I hit the water and it worked fine for the first couple hours.  I only ran it while paddling.  When we found a spot and jumped off the yaks, I turned it off. 

I also just realized I posted this in the wrong forum.  Should have put it in the gear forum.  Guess that fact that I was cleaning up spearguns and gear at the time had me distracted...

Ron,

Power the unit up and press the power button once. You should be able to adjust the screen brightness by pressing the + button. Check that first. If after adjusting the screen is still dark, reset the unit. hit Menu/ restore defaults.

If the screen is still dark after that, Contact Lowrance you may have problem.

Thanks Mike!
Well this is odd.  I just connected the unit and turned it on.  It seemed to be working fine.  I went to the menu and to the backlight.  It showed it at 20%, but was nice and clear.  I bumped it up to 100%, since I seem to only use the unit in bright sun. 
I'm wondering if I did indeed just have have a bad connection?
Oh well, it's all good now!
Thanks again!
Ron.
