Sat Nav unit dead

[JakeGT]

Afternoon all.

Just as I've been thinking about getting the Z4 ready for sale the Sat Nav unit has decided to stop working. It's stuck up and appears completely dead. No response from the buttons to fold it up & down.

Can anyone tell me if the unit is fused? Or is there anything I can look at before sending it off for repair.

Cheers

happened a couple of times to me over the years. disconnecting the battery and reconnecting has fixed it

mine did exactly the same except was shut. I bought a "similar" unit from a x3 but they are not the same, the motor is however.

so in the process of taking it off the dash and then sort of apart I gave it one last chance to work before I tried to strip the lot down. the poking seemed to do the trick as its been fine since. (the disc player bit of the sat nag is goosed but the screen works)

I recon I have moved the stepper slightly so its now not stopping/starting at the same point on its stator etc which is probably worn

Apologises for the late reply but a big thank you for recommending to disconnect the battery, it's not working again
