Any help please,
I bought a genuine V8 finder, when I turn it on, all it displays is white, orange, blue, green, black screens.
Each screen color lasts about a second and keeps cycling like that, I left it on for ten minutes.
Is there any way for me to fix it?

There is a AV output on the finder, a 3.5mm plug.
Try plugging in to a TV.
Also try the HDMi output.
It may just be the display on your unit.
There is also a AV input, try this too to test the display.

Thank you for your help.
It does work when connected to a TV.
I did a factory reset, the screen on the unit still not working.
It must be an electronic problem, so I will return the unit.

Plug a 3.5mm plug in and out of the AV connections.
This may engage the connection to the finder screen.

Thank you Owen,
I tried the side jack several times, when I plugged in a plug, the screen did go off.
But when I removed it, back to the same cycling colors.
So I'm in the process of returning it, it must be an internal electronic problem.
