I've had the G3X Touch reboot once during the ADHRS calibration. Latest version, GAD27 installed. Happened on first flight after map updates. Hasn't happened since.

I've had this happen to me once on my 4th flight after the panel upgrade. I've upgraded to a different firmware version since then and have not had a repeat. This was about 5 months ago. Curious what version you all are running and if this is a widespread issue we should be watching out for?

Guys that have experienced reboots, what firmware rev are you running?

data
 
These big $ units all certainly data log and keep full records of all flights, data stream and faults/power flow etc no? Would think they could find the issue in no time with a call and upload to garmin.
Sure they would want this fixed as much as you. Good luck.

I received an email from the G3x team this evening. I sent my log to them. First consideration is that I am on v6.2, thinking I was up to date. I will immediately update to v6.3 and then see what happens. I really thought I was up to date with all my instruments. Glad for this forum and for the help.

Why do you ask about the GAD-27? Did you have an issue with it?

I had the same situation on my Dynon D180...several times in the last few weeks.
Dynon support asked me to send it back to them.
Turns out that the LCD board was going bad, not an uncommon problem according to them. They said that all LCD screens, no matter what brand or application are subject to this problem.
The bottom line is that they confirmed the problem, replaced the faulty board, and it should arrive tomorrow.
Their suggestion is that if you are going to fly IFR, don't do it with just a single system or display.
Luckily, my IFLY 740 was in split screen mode with the PFD giving me everything that I needed.

It has happened to me over a couple of revisions. The first step G3Expert issues is to update.
