    Default Unserviceable Humminbird unit


    I have a humminbird 1197 unit that I'm having some issues with but this model is on the unserviceable list. Am I just out of luck or is there someone that works on these units besides the factory?

    Any quality electronics repair place should be able to take care of it. PLEASE do not toss it in the trash - happy to take it off your hands if you do not want it repaired

    Could be a bad connection in there .... but probably a backlight problem. Wonder if they can get the part.

    I still have an 1197 but doubt that I would get it fixed if it bites the dust. That $395 would go a long way toward one of the Helix G2 units that are still popping up for sale and if you really want to stay with the older core unit, you could probably pick up a used 1198 for a good price.
    I saw some more sales for the G2 Helix in the Bass Pro flyer the other day.
