Hello all, first off I hope this is posted in the correct section, apologies if it isn`t...
The problem :)
A few days ago i was my old mans [dads] and he`s had this sat nav he bought of Ebay for a while but still hasn`t really got a clue how to use it.
Anyway I helped him get the correct destination in [Whitby], we did the trial run through and things seemed hunky-dory.
Then he said the times don`t match up, its showing the wrong time [currently] and the wrong destination time. After looking in the limited settings there was a time section which I set accordingly thinking that would be it...doh!
The machine was getting low on battery so it was powered off but on the next boot we got a "windows couldn`t find xyz.bmp" or something to that effect. This continued and there was nothing I could do because the windows wouldn`t close [the system was auto set to start the navigation program].
After going to the pub for a few scoops I tried again but got the same but then noticed a pin hole with "reset" on the back. What the hell, got a paperclip and pressed it...the machine re-booted but now all it would do was try and run the navi program, the blue bar would go across and the screen with "Show Map", "Destination", etc, would come up then go off and the whole thing would start again in a loop.
Restarting the machine just ended up starting the nav software immediately which just looped round, somehow I managed to stop that so it now just boots into WinCE and I could get the machine hooked up to a pc. After looking around I found Primo.exe and from there have deduced that it is supposed to run iGO prime.
Liking a bit of a tech challenge is what`s brought me here, I could just bin the thing but wears the fun in that. I`m hoping someone out there could help guide me in the right direction for what to possibly fix or even to reload the software. Iv`e searched the forum for a few hours and have picked up some potential ideas but am still not sure what to do.
Any pointers or help would be much appreciated.
Device is a XGody 560 running WinCE 8GB Flash 128 MB RAM
ROM version: 84.PM_A9.E-5.020131212
Software Version: V2.0.15.06.18
iGO primo 2.4
Primo.exe 9.6.13.405512
I think the resolution is 480x272 [not 100% sure]
I have access to windows [7+10], Linux and have an 8GB Micro SD card if needed. Iv`e also backed up all the files I could access off the device from Mass Storage.
Once again, many thanks if anyone can help,
Matt
If any more info is needed, hopefully I`ll be able to supply it.
