    GC2 registering shot, but not delaying results, Flash?

    Ok, so my GC2 suddenly stop displaying the shot data, but turns on ok, and seems to be registering the shots. I am assuming that the flash may have gone, as there is no indication of the unit doing anything when a shot is hit. If so any advice on the easiest way to get a new flash unit? I am in the South Florida area. Also, anyone know how much it should cost.

    A flash here in Canada is about $150.

    Normally what happens is the flash gradually starts to miss and will miss 2 or so hits to start with, then work again for a while. Then gradually gets worse and misses 3 or 4. They say if 5 in a row are missed the flash is done.

    Can you see your flash count (might depend on what version of firmware you are running as they took that out of the display).

    Is this just not doing anything or is it showing the ------------- lines over the data areas? Those you will still hear the flash fire with the crackle like sound and happens when it did not get a good snapshot of the ball and can't calculate the shot. Can happen when some other white object catches the camera.

    When you say registering the shots do you mean it still produces a shot in the sim software? If so then do you see the Eye logo on the display and no data? That is when you have the USB plugged in and run the foresight software.

      Hey thanks for the response. Doesn't look like I am able to see the flash count on my version, as I don't see that option or number on the display. What I meant by registering a shot is the ball alignment boxes show up and the light turns green. But once hit the light turns red and the display stay on the ball alignment boxes. The shot data screen is not displayed. If it is the flash then it just went, as the shot did not gradually start to miss. This is a second hang unit I got about 2 weeks ago, so if it is the flash I guess it could be bad luck.

        When using the GC2 with the USB cable the GC2 doesn't display the shot data and you would see the shot data in the software.

          Hey thanks woodman, but I am not using it with a USB cable. I have been using it with TGC and ProTee with a bluetooth connection. All was working great and quite suddenly the unit stop displaying the shot data screen.

            Not sure if its the flash I would call Foresight and see what they say or if you don't have a extra flash to try buy a backup and try it.
            Do you have the Foresight mobile app? Does it do the same thing?
