dave and jaime Posted January 4, 2003 Share Posted January 4, 2003 has anyone noticed a black vertical line appearing for a instant on the screen when powering up their 315/320 after completing the upgrade to v3.15? ive noticed it on several units i have access to with the upgrade, it doesnt seem to affect the operation and reinstalling the firmware and resets doesnt eliminate the line, the line doesnt alway appear (~70% of the time) and it isnt always in the same position. anyone else with the same problem?

+geospotter Posted January 4, 2003 Share Posted January 4, 2003 I just powered up my 315 about 10 times and I didn't see a vertical line. geospotter Quote Link to comment
+Time Travelers Posted January 4, 2003 Share Posted January 4, 2003 No line on my either... (I updated my 315 about a month ago). "We judge ourselves by what we feel capable of doing, while others judge us by what we have already done." Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Quote Link to comment
+Olar Posted January 4, 2003 Share Posted January 4, 2003 Just tried mine and got the vertical lines. Since my mag315 is a stand-by unit it doesn't get used much and I discovered the batteries are dead. Plugged it into my power supply and no more lines.?????? I'm out of batteries so I can't try it without power supply. I don't remember seeing them before though. I don't think I would worry about it too much.

dave and jaime Posted January 4, 2003 Author Share Posted January 4, 2003 i doubt if the lines would cause any real harm. im trying to find a way to replicate the lines consistantly without any luck, but i kinda thought it might have been a way for magellan techs to determine if a units firmware had been tampered with. anyone else have thoughts?

Loafer409 Posted January 10, 2003 Share Posted January 10, 2003 Could somebody be so kind as to post a link to the firmware update. I have been all over the MAgellan web site and have no luck in finding the update. TIA....09 Loafer409 Quote Link to comment

+phantom4099 Posted January 10, 2003 Share Posted January 10, 2003 I have noticed it in easlier updates too. If you want to see a line show kill the batteries all the way, then try to turn the unit on (keep pressing power button) and the lines will randomly appear on the screen till you let up on the button. Update: My meridian also does it, but it appears and disapears alot faster. Wyatt W. The probability of someone watching you is directly proportional to the stupidity of your actions.
