FL-18 Freaking out

[EBass]

Hello FM!

I had an issue for the first time with my FL-18. It reads the bottom fine then all of a sudden can't read the bottom and it flashes a yellow tinge all around with solid red/green bars 1/4 of the screen (like a solid bar at the top, then on the right, and on the bottom and on the left) then the bars move a bit. I turned it off for a min or two then it works fine for a min or two and back to the yellow tinge and red/green solid like half inch thick. (hard to describe)

I called Vexilar and they said to bring it in so they can test it. I'm wondering if my battery is shot, which very well could be the case. I don't treat my batteries very well. Use it charge it. But it could've been over charged a lot. Whoops. Anyone else out there ever see this before??

Oh it's a higher serial # so it's not the old bug that they used to have, but who knows. I use it all the time.

Thanks for any and all responses.

it could be the battery. I know mine will start to do wierd things in the fish house when the battery is low. If you bring it in to vexilar they will take care of you, they are great guys.

Thanks for the reply minnesota mac, that's what I was thinking. Cuz it's not the connection and it does work. It's gotta be the battery that I neglect.
