I was wondering if anyone would be able to help with an issue. I bought a used HDS 9 Gen 3 from someone on the forum, came with HDI skimmer transducer for TM.
I cannot get a sonar reading. I have ruled out the transducer, I hooked up another unit to transducer and it made clicking sound. Transducer connected to HDS 9 doesn't make clicking sound. Stop Sonar is off.
- I performed Soft and Hard reset which didn't reslove issue
At this point, looks like an internal problem of unit, everthing else works on unit. Anything else I can try? If not, any good electronic repair shops in the DFW area?

I should also mention proper transducer type was selected. Sonar wouldn't work either when I tried to use Universal Sonar from minn kota

Guess I’ll take an attempt, but this one does sound interesting. Is your hdi transducer a blue plug connector or a black plug connector? If it’s a blue plug, I’m out of ideas, sure sounds like stop sonar is on; but you said it’s off.

It's a blue plug connector. Stop sonar is definitely off. It shows a white screen with small black dots everywhere and will scroll a little bit, but no actual signal is being sent. Thanks for the ideas though. I guess it must be a complicated issue I'll have to get it serviced for

Have you tried putting it in demo mode just to make sure there is nothing wrong with the screen/display?
