Are you going to continue abusing it by constantly turning it on and off 3 times before you let it settle down? Or did that have nothing to do with the probems you sent it in for?

No...turning it on multiple times had nothing to do with the problems...It probably put unnecessary wear on the knob though...The board had an intermittent connection somewhere, and they decided to just replace it, rather than trace down the bad part...The rest was all my doing...turning the locking collar too tight, and not being careful on how I put the battery door back on...the plug receptacles just wear out after being plugged and unplugged all the time...I could have replaced that myself if I wanted to....Going out today to Wood's Field, so will let ya all know what she does now...

If you can afford it, buy yourself a backup detector. You can buy a
nice litle Ace 250 for $199 or an F-2 for the same money. Both are good detectors.
I have two detectors and about to add another one to my collection.
