Any new or unusual X30/50 Reports?
- Thread starter dirtdog
- Start date
Well my demo/display X50 turns on by itself when it is near a static discharge or a light switch when it arcs momentarily. So to me it looks like the instrument is not shielded well and is open to outside fields of influence. It has occured at least 5 times now. I just wonder if the uprocessor IC is in danger. uprocessors are very sensitive little devices you know. But I like the X50 very much and even though it comes on by itself there seems to be no adverse effects. I love that large LCD display and thank goodness they didn't put any little graphics in the display! So there ya go dirtdog. CU later and God Bless.

Yeah copperhead, a couple of evenings ago I was getting up from my chair and the X50 was standing next to the chair which has sort of a velvet upholstery and the static I created which discharged into me when I cleared the chair turned the X50 on. The X50 was not in contact with me or the chair. Outer Limits here we come !

Do not attempt to change the channel. We control the horizontal and we control the verticle. Minelab has taken control
