Any thoughts on getting a MGL radio repaired? The screen intermittently goes blank on my V6. The transmit and receive is not effected. I wonder if it's worth repairing or recipe for disappointment?

I will in time, thanks, but experienced consumer feedback is invaluable intel to gather.

I spent considerable time online and have not seen another post, on any site, with this issue. I should get a prize of some sort.

I’m sure MGL would be happy to help solve your issue. MGL has been great to work with so far. The V-6 is what I installed in my 7SS project. Haven’t flown behind it yet but have heard good things so far and will be following your repair experience closely. I also installed their Explorer Lite iEFIS.

Good luck with the repair. Keep us posted.

I'm installing the MGL V6 as well, so I'm on this like a dog on a bone. Interested to hear the outcome. Keep us posted C-FOXX.

I have a V6 installed with 400hrs on it with no issues at all. Can't really help apart from suggesting to check all wiring connections and the display brightness controls - but I imagine you have already done that, in which case it sounds like an MGL repair job. Good luck.

I have a status report. I shipped the radio to MGL California and in slightly less than four weeks it arrived back at my office. The bill for repair and return shipping was $161.50 USD but I forget how much the shipping too them was. I don't think there is any room to complain over that. That said, patience is not my strong suit so I had ordered a new unit from ACS before I even removed the old one. Now I'm the proud owner of two working radios instead of one broken radio.
