So I try to cut on my Eotech tonight and I get nothing. Change the batteries and still nuttin'. I bought this unit new in January of this year, and probably have only about 3,000 rounds through the rifle that it's mounted on. Anyone had this happen before? Looks like I'll be going to an Aimpoint in the near future.

| for future ref. if you have any EOTech problems......as I just went through this myself, and mine did NOT come back on after "resetting" it by letting it set w/ out batts. Send it back to EOTech which is now part of L3 communications...cant remember the guy's name right off hand...hes their customer serv. rep...they will either refurb. or send you a new unit. just got mine back about a month ago....works like a charm. |
The only time I had to "reboot" my Eotech was when I let the batteries die and tried to change them when the optic was still on. The beuty of the Eotech is the reticle will flash when you turn it on once the batteries are getting low. If you turn it on and see the reticle flash as long as you turn it of then and replace the batteries then you should not have to "reboot" the optic. The one thing I dont like is that there is no Lithium N batteries out there. I got the 551 because I liked the size but using alkiline batteries has a tendency to make the connections sticky from leaking batteries which causes a entirely different issue. I am happy with the Eotech site though and would not trade it for anything,...well maybe a 552 but thats it.

My luck would be when I truely needed it the damn thing would need kick-started.
So do you get a BSOD error message?  BLAM BLAM BLAM... WTF? "Fatal Exception Error..." |
