Problem with XS...Please Help!!!

I have had my XS for about 3 monthe and it has worked flawlessly until last weekend. I first noticed that the speaker sounded as if it were bursted. It had a rattling sound when it made a noise. It has now began to emit a steady what sounds like Threshold buzz. It changes pitch when the coil has passed over a target. As in higher pitch steady sound when a target causes a high pitch and if You pass a nickle under the coil it instantly changes to a lower pitch tone. I have tried removing the battery while powered up, removing the X1 Probe and connecting it to the stock coil, starting it w/o a coil at all, adjusting many if not all adjustments on the XS, starting it in Factory Preset. I hunt with the TH silent as the constant hum drives me battier than I already am!!! and this is worse than the TH hum.Please help if You can!
Thanks, Tony
 
It does it with no coil attached? If so sounds like something went bad.. better call Minelab.. did you get it from Kelly Co?
 
I was gonna say.... It sounded like water to me. I'm no explorer expert, but I know the kinds of things water can do to electronics!
I've been told that if you use it in the lake/ocean and tip the control box back too far, the water can go up the shaft to the control body and cause trouble like you've been describing.
 
just be sure the covers on and dont lift the coil higher than the control box.. like carrying it out over your shoulder.. water can run down the shaft into the control box
