Long time since I posted on this..
But been through the mill a bit with it.
Got the New GPS board fron China ( yes for this 2nd replacement unit as well ) a fortnight or so back ..
Fitted it .. piece of cake , getting good at it now
.
found the top of the DVD palyer inside was bent ( during its build in China)
and thats why the disc mechanism was a bit stiff.
Tweaked it straight and all ok ..
Left unit partially in bits for only a day or so ... and in this time the grand-kids came to visit, got on the PC here! .. same table !! knock over the tray, lost a few screws and broke a ribbon cable clip ....
went looking for the rope & stool!!
.
But after a few days got the will back a bit and put it back to together.
But would not see the SD card .. nothing wrong with the card.
.
left it again.
this morning .. a bit refreshed I got into it again.
managed after few attempts got the ribbon to lock in , seems it was the
SD card reader ribbon.
and .....and
its works ... yippee!!! ..
GPS is seeing satellites and IGO knows where i am !!
Wonder how long for ???
