Is it out of warranty? My first one I purchased got sent back because the screen would stay on, and not shut off.
I had an issue with the unit turning off myself. I just cut the wire to the 2 connectors and put on 2 new connectors.
Not the same problem at all, but when I did have an issue after owning mine for over 3 years I sent it in, and they fixed it free of charge.
I had several issues with my Showdown over the years and I have found that you want to speak to Chris, Mike or Zac. I have emailed them multiple times to work these problems out and I would rate them as A+++. Upgrade to LX 7 this year and love it. I did replace the fuse with mine and just put a 3 amp in it and then crimped down the fittings on the battery. The biggest issue I found is not with the crimps though, it was with the male and female plug that you unplug to charge. Get some electric conduction jelly at an automotive store. Just put a very small amount on and it fixed the problem. I had to do this about 2-3 times per ice season. Hope this helps. Nez
I think if you get the right guy on the phone they will. They know it's a hardware problem so they fix it which is how any company should be. What was the issue you had?
you reported issues while it was under warranty and they tried an easy fix that didn't work and when you let them know it they should take care of it. just remind them of what they did to try to keep it on ice for you while you needed it. when you call back and if you know it's not the rude dude, let them know how poorly you were treated. would be best to get names. i would let them know even if it is rude dude, but get the name before any thing else. that helps them get the right people working for them.chris has been relieved of duty and his replacement maybe a problem.jeremiah is the best one to ask for and likes to talk and is always in a good mood and helpful and never rude.i keep this stuff handy for connectorshttp://www.homedepot.com/p/CRC-2-26-5-oz-Multi-Purpose-Lubricant-02004/100398344
