+SoonerL8R Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I was wondering if anyone has ever had any problems with a Legend locking up with a black line through the middle of the display before? Mine will work fine and not miss a beat until I activate WAAS and then everytime within 5 minutes it will get this black bar through the display in which I pull the batteries to restart it and turn off WAAS and away we go. Unfortunately this wasn't accurate enough to get me to caches so I moved up to the 60csx and it's like night and day the difference! Quote Link to comment

I had an old eTrex that did that and I remedied it by updating the unit firmware. Quote Link to comment

+SoonerL8R Posted December 29, 2011 Author Share Posted December 29, 2011 I thought of maybe doing that but I couldn't find a computer with an old Serial Port...I thought about selling it but I couldn't with a clear conscience knowing it was gonna lockup to some unsuspecting new owner.

diggingest_dogg616 Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 (edited) Search Amazon for something like this. It is a serial converter, so you can plug the 9 pin serial into a usb port. I use it with mine. You'll need to have an install driver or something too, but the computer should be able to find it (at least mine did).
