Troubleshooting Technical Issues with 07 S250 Skid Steer: German Language Switch, LCD Screen Malfunction, and Communication Problems

Question:

Unfortunately, my S250 seems to be experiencing some technical difficulties. Initially, it randomly switched to German language, giving me a bit of a scare. Despite resetting it, the issue persisted. Shortly after, the LCD screen on the right side began malfunctioning, ultimately resulting in a complete blackout after entering a code. My in-house mechanic suspects a communication problem between the computer module behind the faulty screen and the other computer. Has anyone else encountered this issue with their '07 S250 with 500 hours on it? My warranty expired in June this year, and I'm frustrated with the situation. I may need to reach out to Cat, as all my heavy machinery is from them. Time to consider a new skid steer perhaps?

Best of luck with your search! I hope your Bobcat dealer exceeds your expectations. Personally, I made the switch to Caterpillar (Cat) machinery four years ago for my skid steers and MTLs, and it was truly the best decision I ever made. Now, all of my equipment is Cat and I couldn't be happier. I highly recommend making the switch to Cat machinery.
