MG TM xi3 only beeps

My MG Xi3 seems to have bit the dust. When I power up it just peeps. Here is a video if you would like to see it in action.

The MG Factory was not very helpful except to tell me to contact a motorguide service center somewhere. I suspect its the PC Board. They did say that there is no diagnostic sequence I can invoke. So....I'm here asking if anyone has any recommendations for buying parts for these things. Of course I'll do some more googling but maybe someone here has experience. Perhaps there is a MG TM service center that sponsors here on iboats.

I will say this, once you have one of these TMs with GPS you won't go fishing without it. Same thing with the Power Pole.

I would think you just have to bite the bullet and buy another circuit board for it how old is it? Plus you are right about the TMs with GPS I just got mine hooked up and love not dropping a anchor MK Terrova.

In a few years with Power Poles and GPS TMs most boaters won't even know what an old fashioned anchor looks like. The new PCB is on order.
