hi all thanks for the add from carlow

Welcome shortcross. Next door neighbour here in KK.

Welcome to the forum, do you have a metal detector or any ideas what you think you might get. Have you any expierence and have you read the frequent questions and answers section along with the General hobby discussion section just to gain information when starting out.
Best of luck.

Hi Shortcross,  sorry to hear about your LCD screen on the At pro, thats crazy money to replace the LCD screen.
You said no screen at all so you have nothing to by trying this but if you do then its at your own free will.

Switch on the power and wait a couple of seconds then press the LCD screen  gently in the center, if the screen doesn't respond then try center top or center bottom, if still nothing then try center right or left. The screen might work just enough for you to put in the mode of choice and then you can use it knowing what program you are in.

LCD screens can come and go depending on the pressure point so if you find it then set it up as you feel best and use it as a sound only machine, after a hour or two you will master it.

Best of luck.

Hi shortcross. That's a mad price for the repair work. Hope digger's advice works. He's a bit of a know-it-all, quite literally! There isn't a machine he doesn't know about. The sensitivity button can be adjusted high easily enough but when you can't see the discrim notches and the target identity it's a bit of a bummer.

Buy a new one keep the old for parts better still sell it for parts and buy a new one.
