Old school Furuno GP-37 has some beat pixels and I’ve got lines on the screen. Any leads on repair?

TIA

Furano USA support-

Give them a call, see what they say.

Be aware however, fish finders and other types of marine equipment after a time become "obsolete" in the eyes of the companies that built them, and they no longer support them with parts or service.. ran into it last year with a garmin color FF.. No longer serviced, or parts available, best of luck...
happens with cars, trucks, boats, outboard motors etc as well..
Remember its a "consumer electronics" device, and all the companies that build them want to sell you a new one, NOT fix your old one... bob

Kind of what I was thinking so looking for a local shop that fixes electronics. Kind of like how you can still get parts for Newell reels. 😁

Might be an old unit but that WAAS positioning it where it’s at.

I sent my nav net stuff back , and they still repaired it .

And their turn around time was very quick.

Worth a phone call to furuno to check
