Re: Byonics GPS - Failures
|
I suspect it was failure due to high heat exposure.? Repair would be difficult.? A vacuum desoldering device might be able to suck up enough of the solder on each contact to get the old GPS receiver off the board but you would have to invest $$$$$$ in such a device for a one time job.? Not worth it in my book and no guarantees it would work.? I always took my devices out of my car when I was done traveling and took them indoors where hot/cold is better controlled.? Electronics last longer then.? Kurt

I have a number of Byonics GPSs and 3 that have failed.??
The failed units are Byonics GPS (1 Original), Byonics GPS2 and Byonics GPS5.??
They have all failed in a similar way and when connected to a TT3:??
?- The LED comes on; but??
?- No data is received by the TT3 (IE Green LED does not flash).??
My questions are:??
?- Is it likely that the failure could be temperature related?? Unit is inside car where temperature could exceed 60C.??
?- Is repair possible/economical???
