Re: [Liveaboard] Link 2000 monitor panel
There are more technical reset procedures online - 2 of them. One resembles the directions in my manual which does address a frozen display. I have the same problem, but the wires going into the back of my Link 2000 do not resemble those in the directions.

Re: [Liveaboard] Link 2000 monitor panel
Jim, I'd think the first thing to do is call Xantrex customer service and explain the situation to them. It might be as simple as an internal battery...but in any case they'll be able to help...
