It actually doesn’t say it can’t be loaded, it just says it can’t be recovered. I did manage to get humminbird to agree to send me 2.180, so hopefully I’ll get that email tomorrow and I’ll be able to give it a shot and see if it works.

Can anyone tell me what the Humminbird 767 GPS/Chartplotter NMEA 0183 "TALKER ID" is? Is it $GP or something else. A customer wants to repeat the 767 0183 NMEA sentences on a NMEA 0183 data repeater such as Depth Below Transduce (DBT) but doesn't know what the TALKER ID is. Should he be specifying $GPDBT  Regards, Bert van den Berg New Zealand

Did you check the verbiage for the exact software version you currently have in the unit ... to see if the version says that older software cannot be loaded ... ??
If your current version (in the software verbiage) does not say older software cannot be loaded - it may be possible ...

Rickie,
Thank you for replying.
I didn’t have any important NAV data, so I just formatted without backing it up. I don’t run any chips or anything like that in it either.(my lakes aren’t supported by lakemaster unfortunately). Afterwards I did reset to default, still had the same issue.
I wish I had the option of using someone else’s transducer with it but I don’t know anyone in my area with a helix 9. I do have a spare helix 9 for a short time that I installed on my boat with my old transducer and it worked like a charm.
But damn, I’d understand why they wouldn’t let us backload if they had recovery settings on the units. Even just inserting a SD card with the current firmware load on it with a window popping up saying reinstall firmware or repair firmware. I was really trying to not have to send it in for the $250 repair fee, but I’m starting to think I don’t have a choice.

Also … test your unit on someone else’s transducer … (if that is feasible) ...

Unfortunately Humminbird has been adding a “feature” to their most recent software updates that no longer allows “backloading” older software versions ... check the Humminbird website software verbiage that your unit has currently installed to see if this no “backloading” older software verbiage is present the verbiage ... https://humminbird.johnsonoutdoors.com/us/support/software-updatesThe verbiage reads something like “Once xxx software version is loaded, older software versions cannot be loaded” ... —— —— I would suggest removing map cards, export your Nav data to an SD Card, verify in Humminbird PC your Nav data is safely on the SD Card and in Humminbird PC ... https://humminbird.johnsonoutdoors.com/us/support/software-updates/humminbirdpc-v-4-6-1Then under the unit Setup tab Format Nav Directories and Restore Defaults ... Test the unit operation with no Nav data or map card in the unit ... Rickie

Hello,
A couple weeks ago after zero changes my unit started not displaying the depth or giving me a bottom. When I put it in max mode I’d get a bottom but it wouldn’t always tell me a depth. Also max mode is usually flooded with readings on the screen but it was pretty clear. I did all the things I could think of, restart the unit, factory reset, verify the transducer is still correct, unplug everything and plug it back in. There’s more I just can’t remember it all. Well I figured my transducer died.
I plugged in a different unit a week later and got normal readings from my transducer, so then I learned my transducer is fine. My unit still doesn’t work though. I tried to reload the 2.280 firmware on it to see if that would fix it, it will not let me load the same firmware.
So here’s my question. Has anyone else had anything like this? Did you fix it? Does anyone have an older firmware version they could send me? I’m pulling my hair out over here any help would greatly be appreciated.
Thank you
Erik

And BTW ... your understanding of the AS SILRY Cable is correct ...
The AS SILR Y cable is nothing more than wires = redirecting where signal paths go ...
The head unit has no indication that anything has changed in the hardware ... and transmits signals to piezoes thru wire channels ... those wire channels (transducer cable and/or Y cables) physically determine where those transmitted signals end up ...
——-
——-
Note : the older AS SIDBY Cable and the AS SILRY Cable are for the older core numbered series units and the HELIX G1 units ...
Any HELIX newer requires the 9M SIDB Y cable or the 9M SILR Y cable because of the addition of a dedicated DI circuit to a dedicated DI piezo in any HELIX imaging unit G2N or newer ...
ONIX/SOLIX/APEX are different animals and must be discussed in a different context ...
