This is a quote from another forum, thought I would let yall know in case you were debating doing what this owner did.
"Don't upgrade the M-80!!!
I got my Moultrie M80 today and thought I'd go ahead and do the upgrade they have posted on their website. Camera was working ok except the delay for 15 seconds was more like 30. I did the upgrade which was suppose to correct the delay and now all the LCD screen shows is a line of black blocks at the top. Called Moultrie and they told me I'd have to send it in and it would be a month before getting a replacement!!!!!!!!!!! How could it possibly take a month to to swap out cameras? I need the camera now, not a month from now! I called the dealer I bought it from and thankfully he is going to replace it".
