I have had this happen and have corrected the error with a calibration. In my case it didn't seem to be a permanent error and I have gone years without having to calibrate.
The document LVB Tracker PCB Version 1-9.doc has instructions on how to calibration the controller.
I have sent you a copy of the document directly.

Fellow members, I am getting a "Bad EEPROM data" message on my Tracker readout. I queried the office about a fix and Martha forwarded it to the appropriate Individuals. It's been a couple of months since my inquiry and have not heard back. Is there anyone out there who can tell me where to find a new chip, or do I have to scrap the unit and use a different tracking source? My unit was purchased around 2008. The readout says Firmware version 0.9. The board indicates version 1.2. Thanks in advance for your help and Happy New Year. Joel Kandel, KI4T
