Has anyone had the same thing happen to their V?
Got out 11/6 for about 3 1/2 hours in one of my productive colonial era fields. The problem happened shortly after I balanced and started swinging. I was on a freshly charged stock battery pack. The V3i totally locked up and would not respond to any keypads or the trigger. The display showed 53 and nothing blinked, a solid lock up like it was a still photo, no audio - nothing. I pulled the battery waited a few seconds , inserted battery, turned on, balanced and hunted the rest of the day just fine. It seemed stable after and I doing well digging flat buttons. I will post up a shot of my finds once I get a chance Sunday or Monday. It's been a heck of a week, eight days without electricity, heat or hot water. The time detecting really helped clear my head. When something happens once and doesn't happen again we call it a glitch, if this happens again I'd be concerned that it could be a trend.
I should post this freeze of my V3i on Whites own website as well.
