still pass the self-test?

The reason I ask this is because it seems that for some of the same models, with the
same software, people are getting different results.

Some are extremely happy with an update, and others (including me),
are very unhappy.

Has Humminbird seen corrupted/burnt out memory chips on some units, but
the units are still functional, but slow?

It doesn't make sense that identical units, running identical software would act
that differently.
I guess waypoint corruption could also have something to do with it.

Just curious, as I'm sure lots of users are.

Not sure of the answer to that ITG.  I’m sure that our Service Techs have had to replace memory chips that did not function but what the cause of that would be or what the user would see if unknown to me.

  • It is not lost ...it has been misplaced.

I wonder also if this is why units act differently at the same level.
You would think that a corrupt memory position would cause a castrophic error but appearently it may only effect a single part of a multi part thread.

We are starting to see some errors on our 1197 at 6.180.  Going back level to see if code makes a difference or could it be hardware..
