Yesterday we flew to KRAL for a breakfast run with some IFR time. Great breakfast with an RV-7 driver and his wife, topped off with some $3.99 100LL, then fired it up for the trip home. Avionics master "ON", and the PFD of my G900X won't work.... ARGGG! Switched screens with the MFD and the PFD screen is still dead, other than some dim flashes of light.
Called Garmin this morning and they agree that it's probably the screen, MSRP $1400. But(!) "You have to order from a Garmin Dealer."
OK, fair enough, I call my local Avionics dealer and by the end of the day I have an overhauled screen being shipped. Oh and getting it configured to my airplane may take several hours at $95/hour....
Has anyone had to replace a GDU-1040 and if so, how hard was it?
thanks
