[QUOTE="grubstake, post: 363737, member: 4012"] I feel your pain mate, Minelab are the obvious people to ask about their own detectors, but don't you think it would have been smarter to have phoned them first and discussed the problem you were having? They're between a rock and a hard place themselves I guess, as all electronics-based gear is dependent on components that may not be available long-term and modern surface-mounted circuit boards aren't very amenable to repair work anyway. Like it or not, our modern detectors aren't going to be around for as long as the older ones were, if spare parts aren't available and they're not economical/practical to work on. Maybe if you told us what part of the country you're from, somebody here might know a local techo who could have a look at the 4000 for you. [/QUOTE]
