My Visor cuts out after 8 minutes of use. I put in new batteries, and everything works. If it is off for up to 7 minutes, it will turn on. After 8 minutes, it won't turn on w/o a soft or hard reset. The batteries ran down completely after 1 night. I tried leaving the batteries out one full day, and then put in new batteries. These are now down 50% in half a day. The screen is very bright. This is a replacement Visor for cracked springboard slot. Anyone else have this problem of not being able to turn on the Visor after about 8 minutes? It also cut off after 8 minutes if I was playing a game continuously for that amount of time. Weird. Tech support did not acknowledge this as common, but said to send it back. New Visor coming next week.
And yes, my Graphite Visor also was showing the dreaded springboard slot crack, just like my original Blue Visor. I love my Visors, (all of them). Eventually things will be perfect.
