I have the same exact problem...called lowrance was told to try and reset by pressing and holding *(power, + and -) all at once...no result. loaded the update on a brand new sd card, followed instructions carefully, still no result as it wont go past the innitial elite »Lowrance Screen.... I dont know about you guys but for me to save up the cash to buy a "nice" unit took me all winter and spring....and Lowrance support cant even help...what a let down !!
Were you able to fix yours ?...Does anyone know how to resolve this ??
