Dean Stone Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 I have a very niceXLT detector, it has been in a hard case for about 3years. No batterys where left in it when i put it away. Took it out the other day and it all works fine, but the face don' t light up very well, i can't hardly see it. it is yellow looking. It still has the face plastic on it, could that got yellow, and if i take it off, can i get one for it? Do you think that could be what it is ?

JCR Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Centerville Electronics may very well have a NOS screen lens for it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Jup, you can peel it off. (But wait until you got the spare.) Centreville NW has them in stock... https://centrevilleelectronicsnw.com/metal-detectors-and-parts/ols/products/xlt-or-dfx-window 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geotech Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 I've never seen a screen cover "go bad." However, the display might. It's not clear when you say "the face don't light up very well" whether you mean the backlight isn't working well or the display itself is faded. But both can happen. Also, indoors it can be hard to read without the backlight. So first, I would take it outside or make sure the backlight is on. Next, I would pop off the pod faceplate (it snaps on) and look at the screen without the screen cover. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean Stone Posted February 29 Author Share Posted February 29 You were right Geotech, Took it out side today and can see much better, My eyes are not as good as used to be. I am glad i didn't take the cover off. Thanks for all the help from everyone. This is like new, i got a good deal on it when i got it, now i need to learn how to use it. I think they are good detectors. Will the Eagel 11 Sl coils work on this? i think they are bouth 6.9 K. Hope so . dean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
