Hi together! We have on our SM from 2002 the original B&G Hydra 2000 system. This morning, I switched it on and all 4 displays on the helmstaition showing nothing at all. But down at the navstation the Hydra 2000 FFD shows all except the wind informations. I’m not very experienced in electronics but my suggestion is the processor could be the problem.
Has anyone ever had this problem?
Thank you

It is likely that it is the B&G Hydra 2000 Processor. You should consider it at end-of-life at 18 years old.
You are in a beautiful spot. There is a place in England ( https://www.aandtinstruments.com/) that might be able to repair the processor, but while it is removed, you will have nothing including no depth. Also, was the wind working on the digital display before this happened? When was the last time the wind was working? There are technicians on Grenada and Trinidad, but if it is the processor, they probably will not be able to help. There is a good B&G tech and shop in Nanny Cay Yard, Tortola, BVI.

Hi Elja!
That feels good. I’m not alone with this lovely old traditional clocks. I like them very much. They made from very good aircraft Aluminium quality. I’ll try to find a used processor, but they will probably also be almost 20 years old. In Martinique there is a really friendly perfectionist. Jacques is the owner from “Diginav” in Le Marin and he loves to repair the old devices. For my opinion it’s one of the most experienced marine electronic workshops I’ve ever seen.
Thank you for your ideas
Stefan

Hi Elja!
Today we checked the processor Blackbox. There we found a 50 cent blowing out fuse. That’s it. The system is working probably and we placed a spare fuse for the next failure with tape outside on the processor box. If you got some of these problems with your new old system again, just check the fuse. After 18 years they are allowed to blow away sometimes.
Good luck

Sorry Bill, everything is already reassembled but I think about to take photos next time. I opened the processor box, wich is right behind the B&G Hydra 2000 MFD, with the 4 screws and there you can see the little 1 amp glass fuse easily. This fuse protects all 4 display devices and the masthead unit as well.

Stefan,
Can you tell me what model B&G Hydra you have i.e. Hercules, Hydra, Hydra 2000, etc? Or what year? The reason I ask is the technical information I have on the Hydra 2000 does not show a fuse.

Stefan,
I had it all this time but had forgotten about the fuse & the battery on the mainboard in the Hydra 2000. I suspect something similar in the H3000.
Does this look like what you saw?
