I purchased a gll3-80 near the end of 2018. I used it a couple of times, maybe 3 hours total.
I always store it in the case and remove the batteries to eliminate corrosion problems.
I tried to use it this week. The indicator LED lights up but the lasers are dead. Nothing. Tried new batteries, even checked them with a voltmeter to make sure they were good. Still nothing.
Not only is the warranty only 1 year, there is no BOSCH repair or exchange option.
And I bought the whole kit – case, BM1 mount, Lr2 detector. So now I have well over $500 invested that is useless.
Does anybody know someone who can fix this unit?
That really sucks. I won the same laser and absolutely love it but not sure where to fix it because never had any issues. Here is a link to Bosch service centers.
The same issue with a unit 18 months old and now used for the first time on a job. After about 1 hour the fizzling out of all three beams started and quickly became a completely useless unit. Although guarantee is stated as 1year I will try for a solution with my dealer, but I am forced to buy another unit to continue the job,
It will NOT be a Bosch brand, and neither will ANY new tool I ever buy be Bosch again.
