Thread: Nüvi 1490 electronic Component - solved

Hello to all.

I am new here and quite happy about the existence of this forum. It helped me greatly with unbricking above mentioned Garmin. Otherwise I would have been absolutely helpless as I know nothing about this subject. Thank your for all this written help.


My problem now is, that when I opened the case (for ensuring complete shutdown) something fell out.

Spoiler: unnecessarily big picture

It says A35-8 on it.

Now, after formatting and restoring software and updating, everything SEEMS fine, except - there is no GPS-Signal.


Therefor my guess is it´s the receiver.

Is there anyone, who could provide pictures of inside a Nüvi 1490 so that I can see where this has go?
Of course any other helpful hint is appreciated.

Thanks in advance and Happy new year

Edit: I have looked with a magnifier for signs of where it could have been solded but found nothing.
