ST 60 Display looks burnt inside, any ideas as to cause? Unit was not left on, but when I went to boat to check on equipment and run engines this is, it still works, but I have no idea what caused this, anyone have any ideas?

Ive seen direct sunlight do that.
Good reason to keep the cover on.
BTW how old is it?

The original which came with the boat, I keep the cover on, as well as I have a cloth helm gauge area cover and I am under a fully covered slip. So I have no idea as to the cause, and the electronics switch was not on either?

My RaymarineC80 took a dump and it was the video card. They fixed it for $75.

By "they" do you mean Raymarine?
They list repairing a C80 at a flat fee of $675.
Also, list $225 for the ST 60 Tridata..

Hey thanks that's not a bad idea, I though maybe Raymarine though it "twas" to old and had not looked. I will check later today $225.00 and shipping I believe will beat any prices I have thus far found.

"twas" it is the holidays after all! LOL

Their flat fee to inspect is $75 per tech support. I called and talked with them after seeing the repair costs on their website (which fraked me out). I would suggest calling and talking to tech support. I've had mine repaired twice for no where near the flat rate of $675.
