With all the bad reports on BBC about up dates on the bird forum, there is no way I will install one on either of my Helix 10's. Your best bet is to find someone who has the version of software you were using before the up date.

I doubt HB will be of much help to you.

Mine did the same thing just took out my map card and disconnected all but the power wire and reset to the default settings. Then it all came back. When mine did it just one side of my side imaging went out and the maps weren't working. Went back in and set it back to the way I had it.

restore defaults should fix the problem, some of the updates have had glitches but for the most part have been good

Sorry I just saw your question. I plugged in a different transducer and it did the same thing. I was still out on the water and reset my defaults after unplugging the one I was testing to see if that was it. After reset I plugged the old one back in and that is when it started working. I don't know if unplugging it had anything to do with it or not.
