left half of screen disappeared on 9500i

[RadarKid]

This am on my morning drive I looked up to find the left portion of my 9500is digital window was black (it was fine at startup and before this point of looking up at it). At the time I had the satellite filter off. All that showed were the letters MPH to the far right. No numbers for my speed nor H for my mode. I unplugged it and replugged it in and it returned to normal.



I also noticed that after a day and night of driving with the GPS Filter off, all but 1 of my TrueLock locations have been erased. I already had GPS connection (as it was registering my speed) when I put the filter back on - and it confirmed it by saying Satellite Aquired. Then it wasnt till about 10minutes later that I approached my first locked out location. It wasnt locked, and alerted as normal. The next 3 different locations (all a good ways from eachother) were unlocked as well. The only time my satellite icon began spinning was an automatic door on the NAVY Base. Thats it. WTF is up?

Should I return it for a new one? I believe Im still within 30 days.

You have to send it in to Escort to have it fixed:
YouTube - 9500i Blue That Needs Firmware Fix

I believe that the Blue 9500's had display issues

All Blue ones? Should I get a red then?
ESCORT is just sending me a brand new one....do I need to worry that another new one will be the same?

DJ - I saw that vid, I just wasnt sure I had the same issue since mine just started, and went back to normal after pulling the plug. Do you think the TrueLock not working is a related issue?

My first blue 9500i took a week or so for the problem to show up, then my second one had the problem right away. They fixed the second one and sent it back to me. This one has worked perfectly ever since. This problem is surely unrelated to anything with Truelock.

The RED models didnt have this issue? Is there a firmware number I can check to be sure its up to date? I REALLY don't want to send this back twice. I went through this crap with my X50 and it was at ESCORT for fixes more than in my car.

The red models do not have this issue, their screen is not split like the blue models. There is no firmware number to check.

so theres no way to be sure a new model (blue) won't have the same problem? What do you suggest?

i have a blue model and no problems here, but who knows for later.

If you don't want to take any chances get red, for me blue is worth the chance.
