Everytime my car goes into boost the laser feature goes off, obviously, as you can assume, this scared the **** out of me the first 20 times it happened. But for some reason sometimes it goes off EVERY time I go into boost. Other times it turns on and nothing at all. Anyone have any similar problems?

 

is it hardwired in or just plugged in to the outlet?

Sounds like a short or something getting cross-connected or something. I too use the X50 but have never had a single problem with it.

I would try contacting Escort about it.

I have had one for like 3 years, suddenly about 6 months ago it started doing the same thing you decribed. I couldn't fix it so I ended up just turning laser protection off. Hope you find a solution.

 

I have the same problem. I just beat it on the dash a couple times and its ok for a month or so. How do you turn off the lazer function?

 

i just have it plugged in.

 

Mine started doing the same thing after about two years. I just turned off the laser alert. You can fix it if you want to here's the how to www.vistabug.com/bb/viewtopic.php?pid=70

 

typical problem with all x50. it has happend to me and everyone else that i know that has it. I just turned off the laser function.

 

Good info. Thanks. But in the mean time how do you turn off the laser function?

 

Can't remember exactly how but it's in the manual/instructions.

 

typical issue if you have it resting on the dash. you can try mounting it higher, but the laser serves no purpose other then telling you you're going to get pulled over

 

Mine hasn't started doing it yet hopefully it stays like that.

I did. Now that I read it I remember programming mine when I first got it. Thanks for the info

 

Mine does that every now and then. Once it starts, it does it almost every time during that day. I have it plugged into the cig lighter, mounted in the middle of my windshield (not on dash).
