What's up everyone, today we're back in the shop and fixing things! I’m going to show you how to troubleshoot and fix a Garmin Echomap that won’t power on and this applies to all Echomap versions, including Gen 1, Echomap CHIRP, Echomap Plus, Echomap UHD and Echomap Ultra units and works on models such as the 93SV, 95SV, 73SV etc.
As an angler, many of us rely heavily on our electronics when we're hunting our favorite species and there’s nothing much worse than getting on your boat and going to power up your Garmin Echomap and the unit is completely dead.
Why do I know all about these issues and how to fix them? Because I had 2 units die on me suddenly in the last year and I happen to figure out how to fix them at NO COST after they would no longer power on and I thought they were bricks.
Check out the video where we’ll go over power requirements and troubleshooting your battery power, why power readings on your cradle are not reliable and a hidden trick 99% of people would never think to check! If you have an Echomap unit, be it a 6” series, a 93SV UHD, a 95SV Plus or a 12” Ultra, and it won’t power on, be sure to try these steps before spending a penny on a replacement or a trade-in.
