Chances are your GPS puck antenna is bad. They have a pretty bad rep for failing and since its now at least 5 years old , you have been on borrowed time. You can get replacements on Ebay. Your temp issue is unrelated . Might be time to upgrade.

It may be a dead battery and to replace that probably costs more than a new unit. Based on all the problems owners note here with Lowrance, let me be the first to suggest you get a different maker's product!

It is probably broken.

Sounds kaput... try taking it to Cabellas and see if they will let you exchange it for one that works.

I don't know where you might find whether suspended fish, but when you get there, if you want better images than being rendered on your Lowrance elite 5 DSL, then get a better unit

Transducer not parallel to bottom - kicked up. Manually set depth to see if the auto depth is the problem.

Lowrance site shows the power cable as a plug-in. Did you unit not have one? Take it back!

Try to replace battery. If that doesn't help then factory reset and re-calibrate it.

When my depth finder acted like this I found out it was the sender that had not done well over the winter and was giving me false readings especially when the boat was at speed. The sender and cable only cost around 30 or $40. The hard part was since I have a pontoon boat getting under the Pontoon and replacing the wire in the spring when the water was cold.
