I recently received my new 540/440 combo in Hungary. The local dealer MM-Systems installed, worked perfectly on the test run, but before the first flight the display produced the following anomaly.

Any ideas, beside the fact, that the unit goes back to the factory :(

FYI, the video doesn't work for me in the USA. When I click on it it says:

The YouTube video works for me. Here's a direct link to save the cut-and-paste otherwise required to see it: https://youtu.be/bKxiDJJDTtQ" rel="nofollow - https://youtu.be/bKxiDJJDTtQ

Sorry; that looks like it'll need to go back for a warranty replacement.

A bit late update on this issue: Avidyne arranged everything in a very short timeframe. We sent back the unit on their account, the next they they shipped out the replacement unit. Received, installed, configured, papered ...Works fine.

Thanks for it.
Happy customer
