Lowrance elite 7hdi problems

 Hi guys

inthe new boat we picked up it has got a elite 7 hdi and the thing will not read depth.

i ran my hds 8 in there and it worked fine, so it's not the tranny, must be the head unit.

anyone know if it can be repaired? Is it worth it?

anyone had these issues?

cheers ron

Lost the depth as well but after the new software update and some adjustments to the tranny sounder working perfectly.
