Excalibur reverse polarity

Tippy

New member
Hi Folks,

Was using the Excal, and noticed it was down on batteries. My kids replaced the rechargeable batteries, but had reversed all the batteries.....giving me reverse polarity....ouch !! Excal will now not give me any kind of tone when I turn on....is there a fuse of some kind on the circuit board?

This is an Excalibur 1st generation(blue in color, 10' coil), and out of warranty.

Saw that Minelab has a 30+ day turn around. Been fiddling with electronics for 20+ years, so I am not against opening the excal up....just looking for some advanced info.

Thankyou !!
 
no fuse no reset
 
I'm with OBN. Try some new batteries or make sure your rechargeable has a good charge then set it back to auto and fire that baby up. And don't blame those kids. If that does not solve your problem call Minelab customer care 888-949-6522 and speak with a tech. Let us know in case that problem happens to me or someone else. HH :minelab:
