Default My Passport 8500 flipped out yesterday! It just cycles between city, highway, auto, etc and just

beeps. A couple days prior, I noticed the display said "Self Cal" and made an odd high pitched tone.It would not clear until I shut it off and turned it back on.

I removed the cover yesterday and saw the problem. The "cycle" button's little blue micro switch is stuck down.

It's a VERY small switch. Can this be fixed or is it a goner?

Doesn anyone recall what the warranty period is on these.. I forget... TIA

Call Escort or send them an e-mail. They've responded to my e-mails in a timely matter.

Default Do call their customer service, I had an early passport and lost the security key deally and

they sent me a whole new unit! (I just had to mail the other one back w/the recipt and stuff) They seem to have pretty good customer service.
