Had the same problem with mine, worked erradicaly and then didn't work at all. Bought a new one and works just fine.

From my understanding, this is not a unique situation, in talking with others about that power cord. Mine hasn't acted up yet, but when it does, I plan on contacting Lowrance. May be worth the effort, who knows. Good luck!

Does the little red LED stay lit up for you? Or does it flicker / stay off?

If it doesn't stay on, here is how I fixed mine-

Pop the case open and check the solder joint where the power cord makes contact with the end plunger. The original solder connection looked pretty flakey from the git go on mine. I've heard of a few of them going this way.

Resoldered mine and got it back together and haven't had an issue since. Kind of a pain to pop it open (plastic clip snapped on mine) so have some black tape ready to wrap it back together.

Lowrance was also very good last year about replacing these for free if you can't repair it....

I don't remember. I just noticed it switching it over to the batteries. I'll have to check that out.

My LED stays on, but the power cord must have a broken wire in it somewhere, because it works off-and-on all the time. I need a new one! Maybe I should try to contact Lawrance.

I had mine fall apart on me (the end of the plug unscrewed and lost the fuse and spring, etc.) I contacted Lowrance and I had a new one in my mailbox in 3 days. Great customer service on their end.

If a replacement cord still acts flakey (sometimes works, sometimes no) get Lowrance to take a look at your unit. They replaced my entire ExpeditionC due to a circuit board in the unit itself that would sometimes not recognize that the cord was attached.

Thanks guys, I think I'll give Lowrance a call and see what they can do. They've been great in the past with other issues.

Went to my Lowrance dealer, he took my old cord and gave me a new one. Said he'd take care of the return for me. I'm good to go now. Great local service.

Funny thing... I was having problems right out of the chute, so they sent me a new cord, no return needed. I was still having problems last fall, so they had me send in my old unit and they sent me a new one within 8 days, problem fixed. Long story short, now I have a "spare" cord that works just fine...

I e-mailed Lawrance about my power cord issue. They replied within a day, and said they would mail out a replacement to my address at no charge. So far, great customer service.

      I'm not there, so I can't tell exactly what's going on but it looks like a large area of open water developed in the last day with all of the heavy snow on the east side of wake em up Narrows. These two photos are from my Ring Camera facing north towards Niles Point.  You can see what happened with all of snow that fell in the last three days, though the open water could have been wind driven. Hard to say. .

      Black Bay had great ice before but a few spots near rockpiles where there were spots of open water. It looks like the weight of the snow has created a little lake in the middle of the bay.

      On the south end...   Thanks to some cold spring weather, ice fishing continues strong for those still ice fishing.  The bite remains very good.  Most resorts have pulled their fish houses off for the year, however, some still have fish houses out and others are allowing ATV and side by sides.  Check social media or call ahead to your favorite resort for specifics. Reports this week for walleyes and saugers remain excellent.   A nice mix of jumbo perch, pike, eelpout, and an occasional crappie, tullibee or sturgeon being reported by anglers. Jigging one line and using a live minnow on the second line is the way to go.  Green, glow red, pink and gold were good colors this week.     Monster pike are on a tear!  Good number of pike, some reaching over 45 inches long, being caught using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring in 8 - 14' of water.   As always, work through a resort or outfitter for ice road conditions.  Safety first always. Fish houses are allowed on the ice through March 31st, the walleye / sauger season goes through April 14th and the pike season never ends. On the Rainy River...  The river is opened up along the Nelson Park boat ramp in Birchdale, the Frontier boat ramp and Vidas boat ramp.  This past week, much of the open water skimmed over with the single digit overnight temps.   Areas of the river have popped open again and with temps getting warmer, things are shaping up for the last stretch through the rest of the spring season, which continues through April 14th.   Very good numbers of walleyes are in the river.  Reports this week, even with fewer anglers, have been good.  When temps warm up and the sun shines, things will fire up again.   Jigs with brightly colored plastics or jigs with a frozen emerald shiner have been the desired bait on the river.  Don't overlook slow trolling crankbaits upstream as well.   Good reports of sturgeon being caught on the river as well.  Sturgeon put the feed bag on in the spring.  The bite has been very good.  Most are using a sturgeon rig with a circle hook loaded with crawlers or crawlers / frozen emerald shiners. Up at the NW Angle...  Ice fishing is winding down up at the Angle.  Walleyes, saugers, and a number of various species in the mix again this week.  The bite is still very good with good numbers of fish.  The one two punch of jigging one line and deadsticking the second line is working well.   Check with Angle resorts on transport options from Young's Bay.  Call ahead for ice road guidelines.

      With the drifting, kind of hard to tell for sure, but I'm guessing about a foot and still lightly snowing. Cook end!

      How much snow did you get on Vermilion? 
    • Mike89
      lake here refroze too...  started opening again yesterday with the wet snow and wind...  very little ice left today...
    • Hookmaster
      A friend who has a cabin between Alex and Fergus said the lake he's on refroze. He texted me a pic from March 12th when it was open and one from 23rd when it wasn't. 🤯
    • SkunkedAgain
      I don't think that there has been any ice melt in the past few weeks on Vermilion. Things looked like a record and then Mother Nature swept in again.   I'll give my revised guess of April 21st
