MX Sport Wiring And Circuit Board Layout

[michael 989999]

My mxsport was run over.😪😪 before I really had a chance to use it fully. Cars tire struck between the battery holder and the lcd screen area.was in 3 pieces ,but still connected by its wires of course. I made a new bracket for the coil.(fixed) I bought a new battery holder and 8 new aa batteries .reconnected the shafts. Tried to turn it on ) nothing) I started to shake it and I heard  a noise coming from inside the screen, at that moment I feared the screen was shattered and that would be it for me on experiencing metal detecting considering the  price I paid. I opened up the waterproof screen and found that the noise was a silicone moisture packet freel moving about. I was relieved the screen was still intact I guess.checked the 2 wires coming in from the battire holder to screen no breaks in wires that I could tell,closed it up and tried to check the wires from outside screen running thru back to holder,nothing I could see was impacted or separated from either point. So tried again to power  it up,nothing. Can anyone help me to make it work again.noone in hawaii on big island does repairs on this type electronics unfortunatelly.please respond thankyou and aloha

Was there any damage to the main pod (the one that contains the screen)? The keypad is always a suspect in cases like this, it's connected via a flex cable which is not very resistant to abuse. However, first thing to check is that battery power has actually made it to the PCB. That is, measure it with a voltmeter. If it's good, then the keypad power button is the next thing to check.

I don’t own an MX Sport, but I found it fascinating to see all the gubbins inside.  I wish there was exploded view photographs for all metal detectors!
