Old Raymarine E120 primary and secondary intergration

This may be covered however could not find a thread,
I have two Raymarine E120’s
Wheel house has a “secondary “ but it also has the radar .

The “primary” is at the NAV station (with chart chip), , you can only see the screen if you wear polarized sunglasses (screen is 10 years old ),

Found a new to me E120, matched all the settings (nema-0183, plugged it into the nav station / powered on.

The secondary unit outside, powers up however keeps rebooting and never goes any further.

Put the old primary back in and everything works.fine.
???
Only thing i can think of is the “replacement E120 is a newer software vintage?

Getting ready to head out on a delivery, so , not really able to attempt a software upgrade of the working secondary,

Old other option is to swap out the screen on the “new one “ with the old one.

Any suggestions welcome.
Thank you

Maybe try unslaving the secondary unit from the original Nav station unit, boot them up and then reslave?

Have you done a factory re-boot?

Other note, apparently cleaning the old plotter screen and then applying polarizing film in the correct orientation will work. Different grades are available, mainly used to fix TVs I think.

Re: Old Raymarine E120 primary and secondary intergration

turn them on one at a time and see what happens. they will alarm wanting to be the master. check software version on each one.

if you make them both master one at a time. when you turn both on it will alarm again telling you to pick a master.

but having 2 masters or 2 slaves etc does not cause rebooting. just forces you to pick one.

updating these are hard because you need a ~32mb (yes mb, not gb) CF card which will be hard to find.

Re: Old Raymarine E120 primary and secondary intergration

Thank you all very much for all the suggestions, we are currently in transit and have the “new to me” as a back up right now, turns out the secondary (at the helm station), actually has the radar scanner plugged in. (We do have back up ipads and a digital yachts receive only AIS receiver that i have as a back up.
Will try some of the suggestions when i make landfall .

Thank you all again!! Much appreciated!
(P.S. from starlink connection, seems like it’s everywhere on most boats i see going long distance).
