Default My 9500 did that to me!

I was running a buddy and I punched it and the laser went off. I was like OH ****, slammed on the brakes scared to death I got nailed by a cop. Figured out days later that it has something to do with the circuit/voltage/wiring.

I had this with my 8500. Send it into Passport for service. They fixed mine perfectly.

FWIW, they can't nail you from planes with laser.
