Hi thereI use Loco GW52 (besides two of mine GT31)Allways in Aquapack, device never been fallen, broken or any kind of damage. I don't use is so far 4 months becouse of ice and winter but now, display is kind of unreadable. What can be wrong, no water in devise or moisture, I've tried to re-firmware it, no help, GW52 is correctly connect to software, all data is there and settings is ok, also it write log just you cant read nothing from screen

If you can't fix it buy a Motion Mini
Best value device in the world

wkcwarrior, can you pull the device apart and post up some photos of the circuit and internals ?. Depending on the damage/fault, depends on the course of action. It might be as simple as a circuit board header connector that has developed oxided/galvanised connections. A simple remove/insert could fix such a fault etc.

There is a ribbon cable between display and circuit board, this has always seemed a bit fragile to me. A careful clean of the connections, may well fix it.

In my opinion the best device for us is the DIY loggers, either 2 on the boom or one on the arm.
If DIY is not possible for you then the mini motion is the best commercial device.

The motion mini has no display. If your GW52 still works as a logger, you don't gain anything.
