Thread: Gps not turn on and will not start

Gps not turn on and will not start
problem:

The gps does not boot for more than press the power button , not even connected to the power cord. We see that the plugged in but not charging lamp turns on the gps .

This problem is usually due to breaking load regulator .
To fix the mess we can do two things:


****As we are not handyman and have no knowledge of soft soldering and basic electricity sent for service and we fix it.
****We are a tad hands and we know something of welders and tin.


If you chose the one you've finished reading and looking for the official website please contact technical support.


If instead you have chosen 2 we go with some explanations to see if they help .


Normal when we connect the gps to running this cable goes to the regulator and the battery and the plate .
If the regulator is broken the battery has no power but to the plate , then the green LED lights , so when the battery runs out gps not turn back on and be for lack of power .


I 'll show you a picture in which I modified the input current regulator jumping . In the picture is also modified line speaker but is otherwise moved .

It is battery problem , which does not turn on the unit , even plugged into the cable.


At first , despite the green light load current will not reach the battery terminal and thought I'd put an external connector, and so charge the battery directly , but I thought if to connect the charger, the light was turned green, is that reached at least the voltage charging light
I searched points + and - near the input connector , and saw that the line did not reach the battery connector was the + , while that of - well , so just bypass the the + e ... voila!
Battery will last less then disconnecting , feedback to the plate, but it works and load connected to the charger !

As you can see there that the bypass connector + at + the battery connector .
It will always be the green light ...but bear !

It is very important not to have more than 4 hours charging because we feed on the battery and in danger of exploding. Also the gps always work this way connected to this current state even if not charging. Has the minor inconvenience that will always be the charging light on while the battery has power.

In the image of the bridged speaker line is also shown as the speaker did not work but it was well this is a different fault I've had to make do and has nothing to do with the current topic .


Tests conducted to arrive at the conclusion that the problem was the regulator.


GPS TEST
Battery use of a GO (300). ONE of the connectors are different.

Go 520 unbootable, but plugged in, the light turns green.
I used an "external" battery of a GO 300, to see if the problem was the battery or the device ...



GPS TEST
Function test with the "external" battery



Go With Battery butt, connect to the 520, and this started!.
Respite relief, the device works.
And 520 battery?. The GO300 connect to using this as a charger, charging well.
Once loaded butt and reconnected to its 520, this starts.
Diagnosed the problem: No charge but not battery problem.

Note: The first thing we will touch on a gps that will not start the bontoncito reset, because sometimes it gets stuck and the effect is the same does not start the gps.
