I bought a Ice 45 last feb. and it worked awesome and perfectly last winter and up til a few weeks ago. Now all the buttons will freeze and not work, off knob not working properly, and most of all no readout on the display as far as fish, bottom etc. any advice suggestions or any one else have the same issues? I really like my ice 45 just need it to work properly

thanks

cgorman,

I have an ice45 as well, and really do like it. I had a problem with the device as well and the customer service # was pretty helpful.. YOu can either dial the number on humminbird site or email customer service at:

I know there is another thread about humminbirds and I think there is a contact whose name is Eddie@humminbird.

I've been using my Ice-45 since I got it for christmas. I haven't had any problems with mine. It's been working great for me. I'd do what 5and11raiders suggested.

I took my new ice45 out of the box and it had the same problem you're describing, my brother has the ice55 and also had the same problem. Humminbird will fix the problem and you'll have it back in about a week. They replace the disk. Sounds like more than a few people are having this problem, hopefully they have this problem taken care of, I know my brother and I really like the Humminbirds, hopefully they hold up like my vexilar always had, I kept my vexilar so I at least have a back-up!!??

Humminbird does have great customer service, I just hope I dont need it again.

Jigging Joe,

I am just curious as to what your gain needs to be set to in order to see your jigs in about 18FOW. I have an ice 35 and set the gain at about 25 or half way to see my jigs in 18FOW. Also, my jigs would dissappear after a while. Just wondering if you can see your jigs in deep water or if you find this to be somewhat of a problem on yours as well. I do not have a lot of experience with flashers, so this I may be the problem more than anything else.

Thanks,

Simple1

Thanks for all you advice, best ice fishing forum on the web. Sent it in today, and FYI Humminbird's phone system is not working so email is the only way I found to contact them
