Minelab Repairs

Hi All.
My x-terra 70 has lost the first depth indicator again. can anyone tell me where the minelab company is so I can get it fixed.
Greg

g'day mate..
if you bought it from a dealer give them a call as they should be more than happy to help out

Hi Greg, Give Minelab a ring. They will fix it for you at Torrensville. If it has no warranty i think labour on the maintenance is charged at about $45 per hour or part there of, and the part should only cost a few dollars. Its probably about $20 each way postage to send the control box to them. They will check out the machines general health and performance at the same time.

Thanks again Greg.

Hi All.
I sent my detector away to minelab on the 11th. of feb & it was returned to me today (26-3-08 ) as good as new, I would like to let everyone know that I was treated very well &it was repaired at no cost to me. It only has 2 weeks waranty left. They replaced the complete PCB assembly. (whatever that is )
Cheers Greg

Agreed Greg have had faultless sevice over the years from the back room boys , fast turn around from remote areas and no probs with
the repaired machines and coils. I guess thats one of the reasons we pay the upfront price for the machine, Must be a pretty good mob to work for Kevin who is the voice of the service dept is near his 10th year I reckon .

yep...I've got nothing but praise for thier after sales service.
Great blokes to deal with on the phone and my last dealings (4500 recall) the turn around time was just over a week. just a straight control box swap over.

Yes Minelab are on the ball when it come to repairs.. Sent them a 4000 on the 4th fixed on the 5th posted on the 6th.. AND I brought it second hand...cost zip....That is service in my book....Its the wifes 4000...and she loves it dectecting that is...Bob...Minelab for me...

I have a problem with my SD2200v2 as follows:

If I use the combination of either CH1 or N with 'deep' mode I get nothing but a constant low tone that does not change regardless of targets nor threshold settings.
In all other setting combinations the threshold is VERY noisy, and regardless of settings I am unable to detect a 303 bullet more than 3 inches through air!!

Any ideas what the problem might be ?
Anyone know minelabs turn around time for repairs, and what sort of money they charge for an out of warranty unit ?
Many thanks,
Dylan.

Hi Dylan, Sound like a reciver (bottom left corner) on your board has a dry socket or come away. This sit behind the CH2 switch at a distance that can only be measured by daylight. Send it to ML and they should have it back to you within a week, they are good with turnaround times. Cost will not be a arm and a leg as some detectors send with major problems (from misuse) have cost as little as $100 to fix.
Hope this helps you and good hunting.
Regards Ric

Ok, thats the plan then, back to minelab.
From what I hear they tend to come back from the workshop better than new , so off she goes.
Thanks
