had a strange thing happen when I was packing my etrac to back to Ohio ,I unplug-ed the coil and two of the female connectors in the coil plug pulled out. had no indication of ever being soldered?sent it back for warranty repair.has anybody else had this happen?:confused:
 
i just sent mine in for a random video issue, i can hunt for an hour with no problem, turn machine off and on and no video. if i let it sit for 15 mins it works fine again
 
:yikes:

It wasn't quite a random issu since it happened to you 3 times at least. Guess you shouldn't have smacked the HE double toothpicks out of it :rage:
 
i had problems with mine it will not respond to silver at all, how i found this out was when i air tested a morgan dollar nothing happened. so i had to send it in :confused:
 
Two questions: Was you testing it in the pre-set Minelab coin program?---Would it not respond to all silver (& clad) coins or just the silver dollar coins?
 
I was in the Minelab coin pre-set coin program ,it will not respond to NO silver it will respond to clad coins i had it in 2 tones also ..3 times back to Minelab .dont know what to think . oh it was for diffrent issues to .
 
Now that IS wierd!---With 3 times back to Minelab (for different issues) on an Etrac-I'd do more than request a thorough bench test--I'd TELL them I want a new machine.
 
Heres been my etrac adventure so far.....i just sent mine in for a random video issue, i can hunt for an hour with no problem, turn machine off and on and no video. if i let it sit for 15 mins it works fine again

That's alright Greg. While you and I are out hunting, I'll show you how the finds are ringing up on my E-Trac so you won't feel left out. :tongue:

Seriously, nothing is more frustrating than to get something Brand New and have problems with it right off the bat. If it were me, I would want a new replacement as my confidence level in the one I would send back would be very low.

Hopefully you''' get it back before the 10-15 days that they told the turn around time was.

May 15 "Crickets" sooooo quiet
 
Hope you get it back soon
 
He better get it back by then. Big hunt coming together soon and I'd hate to see him use the BH:poke:

Guess I better play nice or he won't let me use the X-1 probe to see if I like it.

Kind'a like a kid at Christmas who finds out that the new toy didn't work after taken out of the package.

This sucks and I feel your pain :stretcher:
