H-bird 899 won't turn off/on

Got home from fission a week or so ago and noticed after charging my batteries that my rear fishfinder a hummingbird 899 was on the start up screen. I pressed the button to turn it off it said shutting down and said that for 20 to 40 seconds or more. I disconnected the power away from it and went it. Next time I fished I noticed it would not go off at the ramp when loading. Disconnected power again. It's under warranty and I have read about voltage. No nic's or corrosion that I see. Hoping someone has info in this before I take it back to marina who installed.

Let us kmow what you find. I've got am 898 that's sometimes ornery.

Moved the 899 to the position that my 859 was in and now it won't do anything. Think unit is dead

all eyes to see how they handle this one .

Using it this week ( when it will turn on) and today it didn't want to turn on. I had noticed that when I taken my cards out they were wet. I took them out again today and wet again. Only had minimal rain on the unit. And cover on it also. But I loosened my ram mount and when I turned unit toward upside down a lot of water drained out of thr card holes. This unit is less than 4 months old and was installed by authorized humminbird Marina. Will be contacting humminbird Monday am.

I had a power issue with my 998. They fixed it quickly and had it back to me pronto. They take the turn around time seriously. They want that product on the water and making you happy. Glad it's working out for you.

good deal . :biggrin

Humminbird is good about fixing issues and getting them back to you. I had a 798 that got wet from fishing in a driving rain. Got it back in 7 or 8 days. My 999 had an issue with the left side si. Had it back in 8 days.

Just got email. Unit is repaired and shipped today fedex. Should have tomorrow or Monday

I opened the box just to see what type of communication was inside and it says unit was water damaged replaced with new unit and it's got a new serial number so they gave me a whole new unit. And now I have an extra cover so I'll be selling that shortly
