Hey I can't see / read the display on my gps. Fired it up for the first time this year and it came up like normal and then went blank. Unit powers up ok, backlighting works, makes all the sounds like it's working when I go through the buttons, will even mark waypoints that I can see on the lms480 on the bow? So I remember Tritonglenn from NTOWS telling someone about a hard reset for the Lowrance units. Like an alt,ctl del on a pc. But I don't remember which buttons to hold? If the screen is toast is it worth getting it fixed. Or if I replace it, will it be plug and play with the transducer and the network or will I have to start over?

Thank You

Thank you, did not help. Screen must be toast. But thanks again anyway.
