Livescope issue - view bounces up and down....video

My livescope just started doing this. The forward view bounces. Like it can't figure out the orientation of the transducer. Very strange. I checked for weeds on the ducer, wiped it off, changed it position slightly, and it continued. I quit fishing. Then the next day, it's ok for a while, and then starts doing it again. Nothing helped. I used it in perspective mode for a while, and the little boat in the top right which shows the direction of the beam, bounced up and down. It's all acting real weird. Here's a video.

Do you typically run it in auto for depth and it has just started doing that?

Yeah I usually don’t use auto. If you manually set depth does it still do it?

Try this. Or reset to factory specs and start adjusting from there. Lots of Facebook discussions on this topic. Hope it helps!

I always use auto. Always have. I’ll try manual and see. But I think it’s an issue with the position sensor. These transducers switch modes from down to front to perspective views all automatically.

Turn the depth finder off and back on....

Can’t speak from experience but see it often on FB groups. I’ve read calibrate compass or the AHRS.

Tried that, dint help. I'll try the ahrs thing and see. Thanks all

I do think compass calibration is worth a try.

Wow,,, makes me feel alittle tipsy,,,,,too many holiday cheers maybe? Hopefully you’ll get her figured out Slab ,,,,

Fired it back up today. Same problem. I did a factory reset. Still flipping out. So I actually turned off that ahrs and it worked fine without getting all wonky. Yay

I have had the same exact thing happen on my livescope. Im running a 93SV Plus, the one before the 93 SV Plus HD and latest updates. Turning off AHRS and setting the slope manually fixxed it. But I think it may have something to do with low voltage from the battery. But no sure on that, because I have had lower voltage showing on my battery and this was not a problem. I had the problem trip before last, and I went fishing last Friday and set AHRS back to AUTO and everything was good. My voltage on the battery never dropped below 12.0 volts.

Interesting. Mine never reads below 11.9 and that's because its stepped down from the 24 volts used by the trolling motor. It was too hard to run a new line for 12 volts, so I tapped into the 24 volts already up front with a voltage reducer and it reads 11.9 no matter what.

Was having that issue last week, my transducer had got knocked one click up, ???? Works fine now.

Thank you so much. Lots of good info in there suggesting recalibration and updating the software. And I really do appreciate the info, it'll help folks for sure. Maybe some day I'll update my software, and also do a recalibration. Turning off the HDRS fixes it for me, and I'm good with that for now. The funny thing is, I am a computer geek, and I do updates, but I have an aversion to too many updates. IMHO I'd rather fish, than spend an hour or more updating software and recalibrating compasses, and often finding out the updates don't fix the problem. I hate windows updates, I hate phone updates, I hate all updates. The only time to update anything IMHO is for security reasons, and even then I feel it's sketchy (after all, I'm not running Ft. Knox). I am one of those geeks, and yet I think these geeks overthink everything. I like simple, I'll do updates, but I'll wait as long as I can! lol. I'll get off my technology soap box now. Thanks all

updates can ruin hardware , many times the update isn't designed for the earlier version of the device's operating version/system and it will stall it and or slow it down to the point it is about junk when you try to use it .
just a quick fyi

My favorite thing is when doing an update you inadvertently make other apps no longer work. :banghead

recently updated a phone that worked PERFECTLY and now it is a pain to use .....:banghead

I miss the super early version of the iphone software. I think it came on their second generation phone. No-a-days, you touch the iphone, and you never know whats gonna happen. Your flashlight might come on, you might be making an emergency phone call, or if the screen has even one drop of water on it, it's taking a million pictures! Swipe the wrong way and the screen is stuck, say something wrong and siri is yelling at you. Drive me nuts sometimes. But I will admit, once in a blue moon they add a good feature. I love the "live" photos.
