For some reason, I had some black discrimination squares randomly show up in my loaded discrimination pattern while hunting last night. Turned on the machine this morning and there were a few more of them. About 10 or so total. I went in and edited them out (and that was kinda hard as well as the check/X button didn't always work; I had to keep pressing it).
Seems like something in that system may have gotten fried. Anyone else ever heard of this problem?

If you look at your manual on page 44 and 45. There is a mode that automatically accepts and rejects targets (kinda like the learn to accept or reject mode on a White's). Make sure that mode was not selected somehow, as the machine will learn to reject a target. If that is not the case, it may be a glitch that is somehow using that mode unintentionally. If your patterns and settings are saved on the computer, you may want to try a Master Reset. But all information will be lost and needs to be put in again. That's what come to mind when I first read it. I would try that first and if it happens again, you may need to ship it back.
