Good thought, but the 28300 comes up on the "set altimeter" screen when
you first turn it on. Plus, I programmed the local airport into the
GPS-NAV already. It would take more than 28,300ft for final glide form
NY to Tennessee anyway ;-).

Yep, it needs to go visit Gary. Just for grins, you might try
removing the cover, and then carefully slip the boards apart and back
together on their connections. Sometimes, they get a little corrosion
on them and with the really low currents and voltages, this can cause
problems. A little "mechaincal abrasion" sometimes can do the trick.

Had this happen to my SNav about 2-3 years ago and when I was ready to go
X/c so I was screwed.

Another pilot who had previously had the same problem leaned in to the back
of the panel, put his hand in near the back of the Snav and give it a thump
with the side of his hand. All went back to normal and never had the
problem since.

Hope this helps.

I tried this, and it actually worked! Thanks! Hopefully it won't happen again

You’re welcome. Pleased it worked for you. :-)

Nothing like a good old thump to get things going!!

You might want to think about buying a new internal battery too as they
only last about 5 years. You do get plenty of warning when it's getting low
though so no panic.
