Hi..... does anyone know if the sat nav units can be repaired?? Screen works but it won't lift up without assistance. Guessing it's a cog wheel or something.

Going to strip out this weekend but Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Cheers

Gary
 
I think it gets out of sequence, mine had a period of not wanting to go down, are you saying it has a mind of its own or it won't move when you work the buttons regardless. If it is without power try the fuses.

Basically i have a floppy screen with no power lift! When i turn it on i can hear something (maybe motor whirring away) but screen doesn't lift up. I can manually lift the screen but it wont stay up, especially if i drive and hit a bump. The graphics are fine and still shows all the info, DSP, sat nav etc. i will strip down this weekend and see if it's the motor needs greasing or something? unless you have another idea.
 
I think I recall from past posts that the plastic gears bust - the teeth ping off them.
I'm sure several have pulled apart to repair them but don't recall anyone actually making a successful repair without cannibalising parts from another unit.

Me? No, sorry mate. Haven't had any probs with that on mine yet. Just recall reading about others having that problem in the past.
