I had to send in my CTX this past week due to touch pad issues, fortunately it's still under warranty. The repair guys get the CTX and tells me everything's working just fine, but, they are going to replace the touch pad because I did a video of the problem and they saw what was going on. Fast forward...I bought a used Explorer II to use while my CTX is out of commission. I get it yesterday and last night fire it up to make sure everything is working properly. No problems, machine if functioning as it should, so.....I go thru the menu and make all the adjustments to get this bad boy ready to hunt this weekend. Looking good, everything is set, then......I press the iron mask button, nothing press it again and again notta. I try to go back into the menu, nothing happening there :veryangry: I'm thinking, no way this is happening. Hit the noise cancel button, dead as a door knob I went thru all the other buttons they work fine. So, I decided to do pull the battery and do a master reset. About the time it finishes, I think, what if I can't get back in to make any adjustments, too late, the damage is done, I lost all my setting and I still have dead buttons. So, I'm stuck with the start up settings, but, at least I can adjust sensitivity, threshold and the smart screen. I get a hold of the guy and fortunately he offers to do whatever it takes to make things right. Well, while I was waiting for the Ex2 to arrive, I come across a video of a guy replacing the face plate because his buttons quit working on his machine. The seller has agreed to pay for a new face plate and I'll do the fix myself. What are the odds of having 2 machines malfunction in the same way in the same week. Go figure
