Skytrak worked fine when I bought it in June. Recently (last 2 updates) it was no longer reading shots along the laser line (top light does not turn red after swing). I experimented different zones around the laser dot and found that it will read only if I placed the ball closer to the unit. See picture. Anyone else has this problem?

Just looking at your pic, it looks to me like your unit is too low. It's showing the lip of the rod guide level with the top of the hitting mat. This would mean that the unit is sitting below.
I have best results with mine when the base sitting slightly above. About 1/4" or so. The dot moves farther away from the unit.
Seems to me that somewhere some one said that he dot should be around 11" from the unit.

It would be great to know what the MTBF (mean time between failures) is for the laser curtain. A few have been mentioned that it happened to their unit on the forum, but there are 20K units out there. Is failure inevitable after x amount of time, or is it just bad luck? What are the costs for repair?

My unit is in for it’s 3rd repair this year, motherboard, flashboard both replaced. Unit is 2-years old, never been hit with a ball, case protected whole time. Probably sub 3-5k shots total. I am second owner, taking over from friend. Skygolf service team has been excellent to date. I’m certain that I’m the exception.
