Hey all ... on 10DEC19, I finally got my hands on the cables and trunnion mounting kit I needed to test and install a new-to-me e165 (E70025) ... last night, 18DEC19, I tested it for the first time ... all seems good with one exception ... when powering off the unit (holding the Power key down for the 3, 2, 1 count), the screen goes dark and the red control backlighting briefly comes on (then goes off), then, after a second or two, the red control backlighting briefly comes on (then goes off) again and the unit comes back on by itself ... fully booting back up to the warnings screen ... the only way to get it to stay off is to disconnect the +12VDC power lead ... strange ... and ... what I'm reasonably sure is no coincidence, the built-in User Manual ('Operation Instructions [English] 81360-1-EN.pdf') was left at Page 351 of 390 ... '26.2 Power up troubleshooting'.

The MFD was (and still is) at s/w v14.36-00359 ... I have the v19.03a s/w ('R19-v19.03a_v19.00p_v1.20G_v1.20n_v1.20r_v1.20j_v17.03m-ISO.zip') ready to install, however, I would like to solicit opinions from other users and the Raymarine Forum Moderators about the wisdom of upgrading the s/w in this unit ... any (potential) downside(s)?

I have pulled the 'Diagnostic_Data ... ' files, 'MFDAPP ... ' logs and 'SYSLOG_ALL ... .tgz' file & 'SYSLOG_CURRENT ... .log' log ... Raymarine Forum Moderators ... just let me know what all you want uploaded, if any, from the depicted file heirarchy ... attached here as a manual PC screenshot (serial number redacted).

Thanks, Kevin Mc
