Just got my GC2....but doesn't seem to work...advice please!

[FaultyClubs]

Hi,

I just got my new to me (ie used) GC2. So excited! BUT it doesn't detect the ball when hit!

Everything boots up as expected, led's flash red then go solid green as it detects the ball. But when I hit the ball nothing happens...it just goes back to searching for a ball.

Instructions suggest to check the flash is working but no description of "working". Well there is something happening but it sure isn't very strong or visible. What does normal look like? If I hit a 4 foot putt what should I see?

Also, how is it able to find the ball successfully if the flash isn't working? Any advice as what to look for in order to rule out the flash?

Any other suggestions would could be wrong? Otherwise it appears in good shape although with firmware 2.1.9.7 it must be a bit old. "A" version with H/W vers 3.

Sigh

Mine just did the same thing today. It was not the IR flash as I had a spare. Foresight said it is probably the IR driver board which is somewhere inside the case. I had the unit cover off but it is not obvious where this board is located as everything is surrounded with a metal shield and it looks like the shields are riveted on. Foresight does not offer this board as a replacement part. The unit is going back to Foresight however they are about 3 weeks behind in processing repairs.

Faultyclubs did you ever get your GC2 fixed? How was Foresight to deal with?

[FaultyClubs]

Yes, fixed without any issues (it was the internal flash driver board). Unit has been working great, I can see why the GC2 is so we'll regarded.

Just curious, what was the cost to get it fixed?

FaultyClubs, what did it cost you?
