Help needed: Humminbird Matrix 10 Fishfinder
 

Hi Everyone,

I need some help with my fishfinder, I upgraded the firmware with version
2.480 (got it from Humminbird web site) and it is now not able to start.

When I press the power buttom, the startup screen show for about 2 second
and then it goes into the normal mode and then it will power off
automatically.

With the menu button, I can goes into normal, simulation, system status and
pc connection and that it.

I'm thinking there might be some key sequence will restore the system to
default or if someone can provide me with a older version of the firmware.

Thanks alot.

Whoopsie. Try reloading the firmware first - there might have been a
glitch in the transfer.

If that doesn't work, then find the system screen while it's on and
see if you can get to the restore default button.

If not, then call Humminbird and bitch like hell. I'm sure there is a
button sequence to set system defaults, but I can't find it on the
web. While you are at it, you might want to tell them what happened
and see if it's a fault in the upgrade.

Good luck.

Later,

Tom

You found a fireware update? I didnt see one for my Matrix 37 last time I
was on their site.

Contact the mfgr, or do a google search with this question, (click on the
Groups tab), you'll see there are several NGs that talk about GPS receivers.
Chances are good you're not the first person to do this...

Go to the Huminbird site & click on the tech support link!

Silly question for the original poster, but what improvements or fixes were
included in version 2.480? I have a Matrix 37 that's at 2.02, but I'm not
keen on firmware upgrades on anything (motherboards, gps, etc) unless there
is some significant advantage. That and I keep forgeting to record my serial
number (required to download firmware) when I visit my boat :)
