Grabbed the V3i have a poke around the yard.

Hit power button.
Screen blinked on and off a few times then nothing.
Tried a few times.
Then it finally turned on and nothing.
Just a blank white screen.
Tried a dozen times. Just a blank screen.

Anyone have this happen ?
Is there a fix ? I hope.

WOW! Hope nothing serious!! Contact Centerville Electronics and tell them the problem. You might have to send it in to them for a diagnostic's. I'm assuming you checked your batteries, leakage or bent contacts?? Good Luck in her up and running again.

Thanks everybody.
I really need to put my bifocals on when I'm using a volt meter.
Room was a bit dark too.
Cked voltage. Looked like 12 volts.
Cked again today.
Remembered that meter has a backlight.
Turned it down on.
It was actually saying. 1.2 volts.
Man was I off.
Thankfully nothing leaked.
Batteries weren't 6-7 months old with barely a couple hours on them.
That on button just takes a gentle push.
Can only figure wife accidentally turned it on moving my machines.


Anyway happily she's back up and running.

Now wondering it my MXT Bigfoot coil will run on the V3i ??

Thanks Guys.

We had 2 cardinals here last week. We've had 2 cardinals for about the last 5 years here in my yard,can't say they're the same ones but there's always been a real bright red one and the other is like a orange ish red color

The last couple of years we've had about 5 couples (robins) in our backyard around our feeder. I saw a lone red Robin (a male) out back the other day. I hope they all return. At times they were all on the ground or on the feeder at the same time. All 10 of them. I love to watch them. They are about my favorite bird 🐦.

I just don't want to fry it. The machine.

If it runs on the MXT, it will do so on the V3(i), VX3, DFX, MX5, M6.
Only thing may be, it cann't handle the 22.5kHz @ full throttle without overload, if the coil isn't deep nulled.
Give it a try. Switch to common-program which has low settings. Start from there to tweak up gain and all you like to have.
At least you can try TXBoost. You won't fry anything.
