Where in Vladik you can make a simple Garmin repair:
broke off two pins of the "dad" in the cable connector.

How to say, I think such a repair cannot be called simple, despite the apparent simplicity.

Vov, rummage around on the catch, there Zhenya UJin somewhere poured a repairman for such matters.
I'm afraid if you go off-but, they will do you for half the cost. In return, you will receive a completely new echo sounder.
Well, so - you need to look for the connector, the pepper is clear.

> I'm afraid if you go off-but, then you will be done for half the cost. V
> the answer you will receive is a completely new echo sounder.

I in the Navigator repaired the echo sounder under warranty. They gave a new one.
And they explained that when the guarantee is finished, Mona give the old one, pay 30% and get a new one.

But in this case, this is not an option.
I would take it to any radio studio, for example, at Molodezhnaya.
I think they will help you for a little money.
There are also cool specialists in the DVEK on the 3rd floor. Kirov, 23. But there you have to go not to those that are shamans of everyday crap, but to those that are stuck on fsyak komtuperny devices.
I haven't been with them for a long time, I lost my phones.

I on ZhPS Garmin 72 eliminated such a malfunction myself - I carefully drilled the base with a current drill, inserted a new pin from a suitable connector and soldered from the inside.

There, not all pins of the connector are engaged. And yet - you do not use all those involved in a particular connection. So if the construct allows - you can rearrange the "unnecessary" in place of the "necessary".

Video (click to play).

Smolnyj's advice is the most workable. The pins cannot be repaired. Only change the connector.

Looked closely, as if not all are involved, let's try your way. THANKS.

Thanks for the suggestion. I already gave it to one specialist to look. If not, I will turn to you.

Tell me where you can repair the echo sounder? On the move, the sensor flew away, tearing out the connector wires. Replacement required
or restoration of the sensor connector. The echo sounder plug was not damaged.

We are restoring the sonar connector with our own hands.

Part 1. How to blind a severed connector with the main wire using the example of a Humminbird echo sounder sensor.
Here is the actual object of recovery.

Image - DIY harmine echo sounder repair

The connector itself (dad), as it were, consists of two parts. Plastic interior. Thick rubber outer. First of all, remove it (rubber). For some reason, all the connectors were still put on super glue by the owner. I had to tinker a little, but, as they say, do not break down.
Then we remove the insulation, strip and tin the wires.

Image - DIY harmine echo sounder repair

Now, methodically, color to color, metal to metal, we solder the wires, after putting on a heat-shrinkable tube not only on each wire, but also on the main cable (preferably two, so that they end up dressed one on top of the other). Some of the wires perform the same function, or are not used (depending on the type of sensor), so you could connect them together (or skip), but I will not bother you with extra. pictures and colors, it's easier and for sure.
Important. We leave the “tails” as short as possible, do not forget to screen the soldered wires before the heat shrinkage of the outer tube. The result should be something like this (left) and a pile of garbage (right).

Image - DIY harmine echo sounder repair

Using heat shrink tubing is the fastest and easiest way. Becausethe client was in a hurry, I had to do so. And in most cases, the last step is to make a trace. way.
After soldering the wires and shielding them, I put on the outer cage acc. the dimensions of the connector itself. I fill it with liquid rubber, everything, after drying, the connector is like a native!

If you have lost the connector at all, then this is not a problem either. How to make a new dad, replace mom. I'll tell you something too.

If the 18.3 is blinded, resetting to the factory settings will not help. First of all, the so-called. "Hard reset" with a key combination, in case the device simply glitches. But from practice, in the bulk, there are definitely problems in the output stage. Do not scare your teammates, not all the transistors in the device fly, but in the worst case a couple of field workers (in the photo in the center), but most often the drivers for controlling these field workers (eight-legged under the transistors). Photo from the Elite 5 HDI, but in your version, a similar situation, only the drivers are not assembled.

Andrey, you didn't have to go that far! Everything turns out to be close.

Z. In devices of all manufacturers, in the menu, there is such a wonderful setting - Battery alarm is called. Put on 11 volts, and as soon as it beeps, turn off the switch and change the battery.

Well, yes, the battery is also a tryndets along the way, only he got it for free, that's why we don't appreciate it. Are the gel ones also afraid of deep drawdown?

I don’t think that he’s a transdee, but he may have lost some of his capacity. Bring me, I'll tell you the whole truth, maybe I will restore it. The main thing is to try it right away, and not after a year. Because the process of destruction under reduced voltage continues.

Deep discharge batteries (probably more correct deep cycling) - no.

Any general purpose lead-acid batteries (including VRLA gel batteries) are scared. The chemistry of the process however!

Z. If in numbers, then for the first type, the discharge of 60-70% of the former capacity is not critical, but for the second - already at> 15%, these most critical moments occur.

I don’t think there is any point in rebuilding. Moreover, chemistry, do you need it? And they will change me to a new one.

Deep is 10.8 V. I don't even know if he managed to get scared at you, discharged to 8, or already at 10 volts grunted along with the echo sounder. A beautiful duet.

In the spring, they gave an unnecessary battery 12 a hour (like for a moped). They said that last year they went to the islands and discharged the tents while lighting up, and they left them. I checked it - 6.3 volts. Charged up to 12.6 volts. Enough for a day with periodic shutdown. I did not discharge myself below 10 volts. Charging station - in the car. Some kind of cyclical, with the ability to restore old batteries.

Andrey, if the battery is, then, as a little experience has shown, there is certainly no point in fully restoring the point. Becauseit will not bring the desired result. At least with chemistry, at least without. But to promptly raise it is a completely different matter. Before replacing it with a new one, at least for statistics, so to speak.

Quite by accident, it so happened that for almost three months now I have only been dealing with the issue of revitalizing and extending the life of lead-acid batteries.

Should be not strong on Lawrence's menu, but teammates should give a hint.

To begin with - it is good to check - clean the contacts of the sensor connector. Then, if it doesn't help, go to Felix!

Good day.
After wrong cable connection of SideVu and XDCR. so to speak. something happens to the echo sounder and the transducer stops working. when properly connected, the echo sounder writes: “A short circuit in the transducer was detected. Turn off the power and check the transducer connection to turn on the sonar ”

There is not much information on this problem on the net. everyone is just talking. it burned out the sensor. need to buy a new one. all!

I called several service centers in 2 different cities, in my city there is only a Humberbird service. also called the service in St. Petersburg. in the services about this problem, it was on the Garmin Striker 7 sv did not come across. but they said that there are such problems on the raymarine and in 80% of cases the problem is not in the sensor itself, but in the head. sort of like in the module transmitting or processing information from the sensor.

In St. Petersburg, an approximate repair of 3-4 thousand rubles has been announced.
Spare parts also said everything is in stock. and the repair will take about a week.

In general, I tend more towards the repair option than buying a sensor at the price of the echo sounder itself.

Can anyone have more information on this issue?
Has someone already repaired their striker?

Around the perimeter there is an ordinary silicone O-ring with grooves, clamped by two plastic "troughs" of the body. All this is tightened with self-tapping screws screwed into plastic, so no one will clamp them like “ayts in a vice”.

We brought a fish search echo sounder Garmin Echomap 73sv with a burned-out power controller.
After dismantling the microcircuit, I saw damage to 2 damaged current-carrying conductors (tracks).
For restoration, I used copper foil - - I cut out a fragment according to the shape of the missing conductors
new conductor and put it in its place.
Next, I applied solder to the conductors and installed the microcircuit.
I assembled the device, turned it on, everything works.

Also similarly and also a catch 5x about I bought.
Well, what if! ... I would immediately find a use for it.

It's all complicated Image - DIY harmine echo sounder repair

, I'll try to call.

Added after 12 minutes 18 seconds:

I’m even wondering what I can tell you over the phone or by mail, besides what I wrote (by the way, on April 28, 2014 at 21h 40min).
I’ll repeat it if you like.

More than a year has passed, with the word “quickly” you definitely got excited.

For those in the armored train, I repeat once more.
Besides what I have written, neither I nor anyone else, far from electricity, will tell you anything else that has been written.
This is your business, not mine, you move it. however, I don’t care, now on principle I will not give you this echo sounder even without paid repairs.

I'm filming my question, tomorrow Y. Well, this echo sounder is against the wall, I have had a new echo sounder on my boat for a year now.

Humminbird echo sounders are very easy to use and do not require special training. Humminbird echo sounders are used by professionals, athletes and amateurs alike. However, like any other equipment, Humminbird echo sounders do not last forever and can fail after a certain period of time. And since the echo sounder market in our country is not sufficiently developed, not many companies can professionally repair such devices and provide an adequate warranty period.

We would like to draw your attention to the fact that we repair echo sounders only from Humminbird .

We give a guarantee for the operating time of the repaired echo sounder, and not a few months from the time of repair!

We are confident that only suppliers of this equipment with a long-standing reputation for professionals can provide services for a truly high-quality repair of equipment. And we proudly declare that we can handle almost any problem! In the overwhelming majority of cases, echo sounders fail due to a power surge in the on-board network. However, this is not the only cause of Humminbird equipment malfunctioning. The specialists of our company have many years of experience and know absolutely everything about any Humminbird fishfinding system. In our work, we always strictly adhere to three criteria:

We can offer our services not only to residents of Moscow and the region, but also to any region of Russia. You can send the device to us by any courier transport company (only not by Russian Post). For example EMS, CDEK, Pony Express, Major-Express, etc. If you have any questions, please write to us or call (495) 797-84-92 or (495) 778-41-22.

Attention! For residents from the regions. Now there is a possibility of courier delivery Express Light Warehouse-Warehouse from the CDEK company.

Parcels must be sent to this company office.

We are confident in the quality of the end result of our work because we rely entirely on our electricians and technicians.Our specialists will qualitatively correct a breakdown of any complexity. A professional differs from an amateur in that, before showing the results of work, he will check several times. And we always follow the rule instilled in us in childhood "measure seven times, cut once." Before handing over the equipment to the client, we always check all systems for operability. A performance check is the key to high-quality system operation. But for quality work to be successful, it is important to do it quickly. The maximum repair time can be several months. The duration of the repair may be affected by the time it takes to receive the missing parts from the warehouse.

Hello. They brought a HUMMINBIRD PiranhaMax 175 to me for repair.
Symptoms:
- the screen backlight turns on immediately after connecting the power supply.
- nothing is displayed on the screen.
- reacts to pressing buttons, understandable by beeping.
- after a long press on the off button - it turns off and does not react to anything else until the power is turned on.

In our service center you can repair the Garmin echo sounder. We have a lot of experience in this field, and we will be able to "bring back to life" your equipment for the fishing season. The devices of this manufacturer are of high quality and reliable, however, and they fail.

Below are some examples of common Garmin sonar problems:

  1. does not charge (in this case, the battery, the charger itself, or the power controller may fail);
  2. does not see the sensor (most often the connector in which the sensor is installed or itself fails, more rarely problems arise on the control board);
  3. does not turn on (one of the options is also a battery malfunction, or a more complicated option - it is necessary to ring the board to find out the reasons).

The best option would be to contact a service center to repair a Garmin echo sounder, as they will carry out qualified repairs at a minimal cost.

25.5 Troubleshooting the echo sounder

As a Garmin who has worked for 12 years, I can only say one thing - there is no repair in Russia. And in Moscow, too. Service is available in the USA - everything. and that is to replace it with new ones.

By symptoms of percent or ROM. Repair is equal to a new device, especially since we have already climbed there. Try to pour in the firmware - it may come to life. If the bootloader sees the device, be lucky. I hope I can hook up three wires to the computer?

For many products, to work with the Garmin Fishfinder 140, you may need various additional files: drivers, patches, updates, installers. You can download these files online for a specific Garmin Fishfinder 140 model or add your own files for free download by other visitors.

If you did not find files and documents for this model, then you can look at the instructions for similar products and models, since they often differ in small changes and are complementary.

I need help. Please. :( I use the Eagle Fish Easy 245 echo sounder. I bought it at the beginning of summer, it seemed like everything was fine. I took a new one from the warehouse. So it turned out that there is no guarantee. (They were selling for a cheaper price.) On the last fishing trip, something started to fail. And I didn’t even notice how it happened, because at that moment I was playing with the fish inspection. Then he started drawing that one for me. I have already recalled everything, and it seems not a kettle, but I can’t understand what’s the matter. Maybe something is wrong with the sonar? But it looks like there is no damage. Maybe someone has encountered such a disaster, please tell me, or maybe there are some workshops that repair echo sounders. I will be very grateful.:)

First, I would try to overload it. It happens that, due to a not very high-quality program, the echo sounders are buggy.
This is done by pressing two keys at the same time. You can find out exactly about this if you go to the NAVIONIKA website and download the instructions from there (if you don't have your own).
It also happens this *** nya, if the transducer (sensor) is covered, visible damage may not be seen either on the sensor or on the cable. Look for such a sensor from your friends and try to connect it (it may come from other, similar models).
The main thing is not to panic.
By the way, in the same place, in Navionika, as far as I remember, you can also fix the echo sounder!
Go through the search and find the site.

At one time, I turned to Navionika about repairing an echo sounder, bought from them, but with an expired warranty. They suggested how to check, recommended to bring them to them, at the company they checked with their own sensor, determined that the echo sounder itself was to blame. They said that they were sending the manufacturer for repairs. Because They did not have any repaired ones for replacement, and fishing does not wait (repairs from a month or more), paid for the repair and received a new echo sounder with a new guarantee, for which many thanks to Oleg Tartak personally.

Is the sensor sold separately from the echo sounder?: Confused:
sensors are usually sold separately.

IMHO, I don't think it's about the fish inspection, it just coincided

Transducers are sold separately, but the price. - from 100 Baku. I don’t know if it’s worth spending money on buying a sensor if the price of a new device exceeds less than 50% of the cost of a new sensor?
I can only say the best words about Olezhka Tartak, since I have known him for almost 10 years - I have always helped my familiar fishermen with all the justifications in the acquisition of certain models of echo sounders.
Regarding the repair of echo sounders: If they have spare parts, they can do it, but if there are none. - so ring!
Well, about the inspection, it is clearly not their fault, but a coincidence! 🙂

If you can give an address, or a telephone number, so that a person would look at this thing. And I have beer. mesto_1:

Navionica's phone number was posted on the site.
Call and find out everything. The people working there are normal, so you can get advice by phone. DO NOT CUT THE WIRE IN ANY CASE.
In which case, the address on the forum is also there, go and give it back for repair!

here is the address and phone number! Good luck .

I tried to reboot it. (When the state was off, I pressed two buttons.) Something was highlighted, I was clattering something there. It seems like everything went wrong. The menu is in English, the depth is in feet. But anyway, when you turn it on, the simulator starts to turn on. In short, you need a person who with these devices on "you."

In the on state on the right, two keys (up, down), go to the "simulator" menu item and try to turn it off. The display language and feet (meters) should change in the same way.

Thank you very much! If possible, I have a beer. :)

I'm a kettle in echo sounders, but not to that extent.: DHow to turn off the simulator, I know, and I also know how to change the feet by meters. The problem is different. Each time the simulator is turned on, when you turn it off, it starts to glitch.: Eek:

I had to repair several pieces, in all but one, there was the same malfunction, but it was not in the echo sounder or in the sensor, but in the broken cable, the screen is foil, so it breaks, the patient's symptoms are exactly the same. :-)))
Try it on a pond with the device turned on, very slowly pass your fingers along the sensor cable, gently bending it back and forth, at this time look at the screen, most likely you will find a fracture site, but then I think you know what to do.
And also, turn on the echo sounder and take the transducer in your hand so that its lower part lies in the palm of your hand, if the transducer works, there should be palpable pulsating pulses such as a pulse in the palm of your hand, if they are very weak or not at all, it’s more about the wire itself the sensor deteriorates extremely rarely, and there is nothing to spoil there, mimbrana.

I repaired everything. I did it in Navionek. Thank you all for your help. The guys are normal there. They figured out what was going on right away. They say in this Eagle fish easy model there is such a problem, a program crash or something else. Well, it’s not deadly done very quickly, after that, it seems normal. So if you turn on the automatic simulator when you turn it on, and when you turn it off, it shows the devil knows what, in (in this particular model), then you have a direct road to Navionics. 200g. :)

I have known the guys from Navionika for a long time!
Many friends donated their echo sounders for repairs and received quite working products. Unfortunately, not all models have spare parts, and therefore not everything can be repaired.
The fact that many echo sounders have glitches is mostly due to problems with the programs. Sometimes the flashing does not help either.
Congratulations on the restoration of the instrument you need for fishing and no fluff on the water.
