When out fishing today and my fish finder is in all Spanish!!!, I'm not Spanish. It's never done that before, what's up with that?, it's also reading the depth wrong real bad, like I'm in 18 fow and it's showing 2 fow, what's up with that.
I guess I'll have to call Humminbird tomorrow.
crappie cowboy
don't know about the depth but you may have a language function somewher on menu
Yes change the language in the menu. That you stop fishing for carp HEHE
Pete
Crappie Cowboy,
I would look into my menu's and see if there is anywhere you can change it back to US. if not you can send the unit into our service center and they can change it back. The address is:
Humminbird
Attn Service
678 Humminbird Lane
Eufaula Al 36027
The turn around time is prestty fast. It should not be any longer than 3 day turn around.
Joby, Thanks I think I will, And thanks for the come back.Quote:

I talked to a lady at HB this morning and she said the unit was ''broke'' and old and couldn't be repaired, but they could ran a test to see what was the
problem and that charge would be $60 some odd dollars.
I thought man that would be stupid!! :rolleyes:
I know the unit was old [6 yrs] and only a one year warranty, but they should be able to work on there on there own product. :confused:
I'm a little disappointed with Humminbird, I didn't realize they had a cut off date on there products for repair, I wish I had known that before I bought Humminbird brand....oh well.
My next unit will be another brand for sure. Man I'm glad my truck is a Dodge and not Humminbird.
crappie cowboy
That stinks cowboy, but the other brands are more than likely the
same way. I know I've heard a lot of folks griping about Lowrances
that are only a few years old, being told they can trade in, but no fix.
Planned obsolescense - they done figured out how to make us
buy new ones, or so they think anyway.
Crappie Cowboy,
Send it to me and let me see what I can do with it. Put a note in the box on what it is doing so I will remember. I can't make any promises, but I will try.
Humminbird
Attn Joby Smith
678 Humminbird Lane
Eufaula Al 36027
thats a nice gesture joby.....thanks for going the extra mile... and I don't even have a dog in this fight.
Thanks Joby, I'll get it off to ya asap. This would help me so much, I just can't afford a new finder right now, I'm on disablity and things are tough.Quote:

Pete, I've gone thru the menu and theres nothing about spanish or english, and the lady at hb said that I counldn't change it, and they didn't work on that unit anymore.
I'm sure glad that hospital's don't look at things like that..lol.
The unit was sent off today to Joby @ HB and see if something can be done, I sure hope so, I can't afford a new finder right now, I'm doing without now.
I guess I'm lucky I live on Reelfoot with the lake being mostly shallow I can guess the depth pretty good.
You ole fart you and Marilyn come us and fish some, leave the 5th wheel at home and stay with us.
Gary
Gary just a thought,, But at the mud hole. Just use the back one on the front. not like your going to be running 50 MPh and need it on the back LOLQuote:

Pete
Guys I ain,t got nothing in this --but to me what JOBY is doing goes way past company service [my hats off to him and his company]
If I here you talk like that again I'll come to your house and slap little roundQuote:
