This video saved me an unbelievable amount of headaches. Worked instantly for me.
Brand new Elite Ti2 unit here and yes, on the test bench and was like... wtf is wrong with this thing. This video saved me putting my fist through this large, beautiful screen lol. Cheers!
Such a simple solution. Never would have figured it out myself. Thanks for posting.
Thank you so much for sharing this simple fix. They definitely should include that in the manual
This has made my dads day, Thanks a bunch
Awesome video! I have my unit on a kayak and I touched the cable connected to the fishfinder as i was using the touch screen and it worked great! Thank you for this video.
Dude thank you, straight to the point.
Man this helped. Was trying to setup WiFi on it to download updates and screen was sooo unresponsive. Touched the ground battery terminal and fixed. Thanks
Thank you!!!!!! This just saved me a ton of time troubleshooting!!!!!!
My Elite-9 Ti2 has the same issue while using on the bench and I suspected bad grounding. Thanks for the confirmation.
Thanks for the info. Saved me a lot of frustration.
THANK YOU SO MUCH GREAT JOB 👏
Wow! Thanks for this video
I was worried my unit was broken
Thanks for this I was about to throw this unit through a window
My touchscreen doesn't work when I'm on the water. I almost threw mine into the sea last weekend. Beginning to think Lowrance just has shit software.
King!!!!
Legend
Thx a lot
Genius
Thanks you.. I was about to use a hammer the unit..
It's insane how well this works. I am curious if there is a way to ground it even better for a portable application like a kayak or an ice fishing setup. Anyone have any ideas how to provide a extra grounding without holding the terminal?
When using it in a kayak or ice fishing, the transducer in the water provides the additional grounding you need. This is just for when using at home.
Saved me thx mang!
Thanks, helpful
thank you so much
Thanks!
That’s great but my Ti2 has started doing this on the water. It seems to be getting worse as in more often and turning it off and on again sometimes more than once eventually fixes it. Starting to hate the thing.
I guess I don't understand the grounding issue. I'm having the same problem on my ti2 units I just bought, but in a big walleye boat, you can't just touch the negative terminal while touching the screen of the unit at the same time. Then what? Is there some sort of screen sensitivity setting I can mess with?
Well you can try the touch screen recalibration. Sometimes that helps. But if it's doing it on the boat you can always try installing a grounding plate. Also, does it do this when on the water or just when it's trailored?
@@nightanddaymarine8823 Thanks for the reply. Far as I can tell, it does it both on the water and trailered. I noticed the other day when my finger was wet, it responded better, but I shouldn't have to do that. Never had a bit of problem with my HDS touch units. Tell me more about this grounding plate, please.
@@nightanddaymarine8823 Oh, and I did the calibration several times, made no impact at all.
@@plattevalleyguideservice394 The grounding plates are really easy to install. You can generally put them them just about anywhere on the boat. A lot of larger boats already have then pre-installed but if yours doesn't, you simply screw it down somewhere (I usually put them under my console) and then you run a 14-16 gauge wired from the grounding plate to the negative wire on your power cord. Then you also run a wire from the plate to something thats decently large and metal on the boat. Can literally be just about anything. This will give you the additional grounding that you need.
@@plattevalleyguideservice394 and the water on your fingers helps ground it slightly as well cuz the electrolytes on your skin increase conductivity when their wet like that. So essentially it's using your body to ground the system. Its actually the same concept as to how those types of touch screens work. It uses the electrical signals in your body to detect when and where you touch the screen as opposed to simply using pressure like some older touchscreens use.
When at home for practising I put my battery on the floor so that it is grounded. Works fine to me...
Yes putting the battery on the ground works as well. Just not a good idea for long term use cuz it will drain your battery a lot faster when it's on the ground.
What can I do if this is happening on the boat?? I’ve had this issue with my HDS live 7 on my kayak. I had a used model (like new) that I bought from Amazon. I called lowrance and we went through the whole gamut of fixes from multiple soft and hard resets, screen calibrations, log wipes, software updates. Nothing works. My battery is in a waterproof battery box, I checked all cables and wires and everything looks solid. I get great voltage. I even have this issue when I did a direct connection to my trolling motor battery (given this was on land).
Here’s the kicker… I bought a brand new HDS Live 7 and today on the water I have the SAME issue. At this point I’m ready to give up and just stick to my Humminbird. No one answering the phone at lowrance is anything more than your typical Amazon style customer service rep. I can’t find any local experts to help… I’ve checked forums, groups and tried every solution offered…
Do I need to make some change to my entire battery setup? If there is some way to contact you guys to talk that would be amazing.
There is a couple other things you can try. If its happening with the HDS ( which is unusual) then I would install a grounding plate on the bottom of your boat and run a large gage wire from the negative on the battery to it. A lot of boats already have them but not all. Technically water is also considered ground. Sometimes you can just install a grounding plate on something metal on the boat. Definitely don't want to connect to the trolling motor battery.
Lowrance is only open from 8:30 to 5:00ish Monday thru Friday. So you can only call during those times. If it was just the Elite and nothing else it could be a bad display but if your HDS is also having same issue it's more likely a grounding issue.
This is the first time anyone has offered any sort of solution to this. What can I do with me being in a kayak Though? The battery to my fish finder is in a waterproof box inside the hull. In this case would I instead find a metal plate to drill or Velcro down in the hull and run an extra wire from the battery to that piece? Trying to picture how I could do this in a kayak.
Thanks for the video! Any intel on what to do if it’s misbehaving in the same way while I’m on the water? I’m constantly needing to turn it off and turn it back on in screen calibration mode...sometimes that helps, sometimes not.
is it an elite ti or ti2?
Elite Ti2
TI2? long have you had it? I ask cuz if the touchscreen is constantly needed to be recalibrated while on the water it will most likely need to be replaced. My 9 ti2 did the same thing. There was no way to fix it.
Interesting. 🤔 I got it new in September 2019. Really appreciate your help/response here! Now I know where I’ll be making any future purchases. Thank you!
@@blakepelton9879 I assume you have already tried a hard reset?
my Elite Ti5 touch not working even in reset screen what i have to do?
Well like I explained in the video, a lot of the time it's a grounding issue. But u can also try to recalibrate it as well
Will this be an issue if i mount in a kayak?
No because once the transducer is in the water, it provides enough grounding that it doesn't affect the touch screen.
My elite ti 12 keeps zooming in automatically when I'm using sonar and downscan
Have you tried a soft or hard reset yet?
@@nightanddaymarine8823 that is the next step I'm gonna do.
@@nightanddaymarine8823 it only seems to do it when the unit gets to hot. The touch screen will zoom in automatically. I'll zoom it back out and it'll zoom in again until I power off the unit and turn it on.
@@805soung So how long does it take while out on the water for it to start happening? Usually when a unit starts to overheat it will shut off on its own. You might try turning it on and running it for however long it usually takes in a shades cool area like ur garage or something and see if it still does it. If it doesn't do it, then u do habe an overheating problem and will have to get Lowrance to replace it.
@@nightanddaymarine8823 about 2 hrs or so. It doesn't shut off, it just zooms in unit I turn it off and turn it back on. Seems to only zoom in like that when the weather is hot.
