Default LX 5000 - Invalid IGC File

Hi,

I can re-seal it for you if necessary. It does sound to me like it will be
necessary. You would need to send it to me. I charge $30 plus the cost of
the return shipping.

Your internal battery has quit - too long without external power is a
common cause.

Unfortunately this means your LX will record a file, but it will be
invalid for record or badge flights. Only solution is to get your friendly
LX service agent to replace it and reset the software seal - the failure
mode is to assume the enclosure has been tampered with. It only takes 20
minutes to do, but can mean a 2 week round trip to Slovenia depending on
where you are when this happens.

If at a loss contact LXnavigation.si directly - they are very helpful.

Cheers
Bruce

Good afternoon,
I have a LX 5000 version 11.1. During my last 6 flights, I have
been getting an invalid IGC file when I download to OLC. During
the power up of the LX5000, I keep getting the following WARNING,
SECRET KEY NOT VALID! PRESS ENTER TO QUIT!
When I was in Moriarty last week, a couple members from the
ABQ Soaring Club confirm that my IGC file was corrupted.

I am using SeeYou Moble 7.2 version and download my WP and
task through my PDA.

I have email this question to LX and am waiting for an answer.
Does anyone have a solution to this question?

Thanks for your time!
