During the run-up to the event my device refused to restore yesterday’s marks and the unit rebooted during recordings, so I gathered model and serial photos, exported the NMEA logs and filmed the error messages. All that evidence was uploaded in one clear packet and sent to lowrance, where a technician reproduced the fault from my logs, issued a targeted firmware rollback and pushed a patched build to resolve corrupted cache issues. They also walked me through a safe resync process so my waypoints returned intact. Clear logs and a precise remedy request got the fix without hours on hold.
