My Rotax Flydat for my 912 (Shows oil temp, cht, egt etc.) has stopped working entirely

It is connected directly to the ignition and usually comes on when I turn the ignition before starting

The LED display of the flydat first started fading like it has a flat battery for about 5 seconds before die-ing completely

We have confirmed that there is power on the flydat and the fuse has not blown

I did blow the fuse 3 weeks ago - But it is replaced

Anyone got any ideas?

Who can I take it to for repairs in Jhb/Pta?

check your battery voltage / charging. The flydat needs quite a bit of eletrickery juice to fire up. a low battery voltage / not charging / low engine rpm / idle etc may not give enough power to get the flydat going - even if other instruments & lights gps etc are all working ok.

You were right - Charged the battery and Flydat works again

Problem now seems to be battery not charging in flight - New can of worms but at least not the Flydat
