have you checked the batteries? also do you have a coil cover something might be stuck underneath. try out in the field maybe neighbors etc got a new wifi service.

Same extract thing happened with my ATP . I tried everything from batteries to coil changes ; you name it . Send it back it's a problem with the machine . It's some electrical issue that needs attention.

Is there any chance that the unit got wet? Have you submerged the coil lately? I was going to suggest that the coil has water in it until you said the screen went blank when you reset it. Now I'm stumped. Call FT, they should be able to fix it for you...............Sorry, I've just had my fair share of problems with their tech/ warranty service.
