production of Garrett Apex has stopped. from valid sources.
Do you know why?
No I do not know.
I know why. Garrett Ace Apex was awarded the prize of The Worst Metal
Detector of 2020.
really covering up the chip number does nothing! It is simple to scope it out and figure out what chip it is.
Is the screen bonded to the yellow part of the control box?
I’m considering disassembling mine to dip/paint the yellow part, but won’t bother if the screen is bonded/sealed to the box.
I don’t want to compromise the water resistance…or break anything.
Thanks!
Just updated mine and its killed it
I am not a garrett fan other then the Carrott, I was excited for them when I first saw the Apex but it just didn’t hit the mark. But I would think that you had on operator issue while reflashing. Did you try again and again? Follow these instructions they seem comprehensive a bit of self advertising to skip through at the beginning.
After charging it up and re re re flashing while following instructions and still no good, then I would reach out to Garrett, they are no Whites but they will take care of you, probably for a price but if you actually liked the machine it might be worth it to you. Good luck.
How do you remove the speaker connection on the PCB without damaging the plug ?
