This is a long shot seeing most of you guys run the xp50.
Anyway, this is my 2nd replacement thermal in under 2 months. My current Thermal has developed the same issue as the first thermal. On the 2nd night on boot up the disply has a now prominent vertical line.
My first replacement developed a fault with the Wifi after a software update about 3 weeks ago. Where the unit showed ( wifi ) 0.0.0 to which the Importer/distributor said it has to be returned to Pulsar for them to fix. So they just replaced the unit, with the current one I have now.
Saturday night, the vertical lines appeared, reset factory settings then the scope had a meltdown. We're the scope went very dark and noting worked. I ended up pulling the B pack ( hard restart ) similar to a couple other optics when this happens.
Anyway, the unit has got the bloody vertical again, black hot is what I mostly use whilst shooting. For now till next month, I am going to have to Shot in white hot. Untill more stock arrives, in which I will recive a 4th unit. I must have the shitted off the NV gods in some way to have gone through 3 scopes since the trail had been released. Guess it's a way of telling me I shouldn't of sold the gen2-3 scopes to find the thermal.
Reason of starting the thread is has anyone else had any issues mostly from the xq uses of the scope as I can not find any issues from XP users.
Xp is off the cards as I don't like the 1.6x nor the $7500 price tag. I shoot rabbits and foxes so the 2.7 optical is better suited for my use.
Vids on my channel, but here one from the second night of my 2nd replacement optic.
Warning some language in Vid, as I'm am quite frustrated. Givin my run of luck.

I've tried everything I could think of, the importers/distributors here in Aus have been great to deal with. They are as dumbfounded as I am and not to mention the luck of having 2 scopes produced the same fault in roughly the same amount of hours usage when the fault occurred.
The 1st scope was good had about 20-30hrs of field use. Shame the wifi went kaput after a update. ( need wifi for some functions but mostly needed for updates ) why Pulsar didn't let you update via USB as a back up is beyond me also the pulsars do not have a factory system reboot to default of software. ( so a major issue like the WIFI failing ) as a software update.... will require to be sent Back to the factory.
