johnd Posted January 21, 2020 Report Share Posted January 21, 2020 Not MBG specific, but this group has a lot of experience so maybe someone knows. Running anchor mode for hours yesterday, all the sudden remote went blank. Then would not find motor (turned on/off motor a few times) and the remote would NOT turn off. Like it froze up. This is new model remote. Haven't opened it up yet, could it be a simple as batteries or ? TIA for thoughts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavisIslander Posted January 21, 2020 Report Share Posted January 21, 2020 Sounds like a battery issue...that's where I would start. Also unplug and plug in motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If left on spot lock for a long tine, the remote will turn itself off. I didnt have the issue of the remote not finding the TM again, but it was wierd. I recall having a little trouble getting everything back to normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smilemaker Posted January 21, 2020 Report Share Posted January 21, 2020 If the remote is not attended for a long period of time while on spot lock it will go into a battery saving sleep mode with the screen off. It is still active with the tm. Just hit the home button and the screen will come up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnd Posted January 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2020 Smile: the screen did come up, but was unable to control motor or even turn off? UPdATE: removed remote batteries. (clean, still have power). Reinstalled. Just tried and worked fine. Guess gremlin was trying to tell me yesterday was too cold to fish and wanted to come home.
