Has anyone else had problems with the Grand Rapids EIS 4000 cutting out?
Three times in less than 2 years mine has completely shut down (blank
screen). The fix so far has been to un-plug both wiring plugs on the back
of the instrument and plug back in.
What gives? Help!

I had a similar problem and sent the unit back. They told me there was a
capacitor they were changing out in units having problems. (Mine did it any
time it got cold out.) Don't know why they don't issue a service bulletin.
With that said I still really like the unit.

Mine needs to be rebooted on rare occasion. It doesn't happen often
enough to determine a cause or justify repairing it....

Well I went out this morning and 10 minutes into the flight the EIS quit
again.
Called Grand Rapids and they are sending me a new unit with upgraded
software for $90.

What do you mean by re-boot? Is that pulling the plugs and re-plugging.
Easy for you to do with your fancy panels. I knew I made some mistakes when
I built mine.

I mean to just cycle the power.
I have two switches in line to the EIS. The master, and a second switch I
labeled "override". Wayne had told me that his EIS sometimes needed to be
rebooted, so I put the second switch in there so I could cut the power to it
without having to kill everything else. Another point of failure yes, but
so far it's only been a point of convienence. I also have an override
switch for the autopilot in case it freaks out.
