I have a helix 9 g2n DI for my bow unit and my DI isn’t working right, it’s not showing a picture of the bottom just a black screen with an occasional white spec coming across, 2d sonar seems to be working fine do y’all know what might be wrong

Did you swap the transducer out when you added the unit? Transducers very specific to unit on Birds.

Mine did something goofy and a restore default fixed it. I'd try that and if it didn't work, I'd call Hummingbird.

Did you let McNinja's kids play with it? grin They had a blast playing with mine and asking me all sorts of questions. The next time I went out, I had to restore back to the factory defaults.

No I didn't do that, but his kids probably didn't mash more buttons on yours than I do on mine and they probably knew about as much about what they were doing as I do.
