That is if you haven't sent it in yet.
Try holding the Power Button for a few seconds. This will put the detector back into factory preset mode. I had a problem with my XS before where I thought it wouldn't turn on and found out that for some reason, all the settings in the menu were set to 0, which will make the screen itself look as if nothing is displayed. I would then try waving a coin over the coil to see if you can hear any kind of signal. You probably won't if everything is set to 0 like mine was so you may have to hit Menu and go to Display and see if you can't get the Contrast to darken. Hope this is the problem for you and saves you from sending it in for repairs. Good Luck and HH to you.

Please update us on what you find out because I'm still hanging on to my XS too. If it gives out on me.....
Just letting you know I got my XS back today from Minelab today. Seems to work great again , but I have not
had it out yet. It does turn on now. The power button was bad. Labor, parts and shipping it ended up costing a little over $65.
They're still fixing the XS and I'm a happy guy.

Hope you get some Silver on your trial run when you get out. Then you will know she's working just fine! Good Luck and HH to you.
