I took my HDS 5 gen 1 on the ice tonight for mapping. I ran it all the way out just fine then shut it down when I got the the spot. It took about ten min to get set up and I brought it in the shack. After about a half hr I wanted to see what other spots were around the area so I hit the power button and what came up was a white screen with colored lines. I unplugged it and tried again. Even tried a different battery with the same results. I tried a soft and hard reset with no solution. So what the heck did I do? It sat all night in the truck and powered up after I brought it in the house for 20min prior to my excursion. Is it toast? Thanks

My HDS 5 did the same thing last time out in the boat this year......except a yellow screen. Where can I get the hard and soft reset "code"?

Soft-hold pages and power while booting, keeps way points and saved data.
Hard-hold z-in and z-out and power, doesn't save data.
