Help! BT-77 can't resolve fix

It's probably died. My BT-77 GPS receiver seems to have suddenly become
unable to resolve a fix. Although it can "see" satellites (I've seen it
with 7 in view but more usually its somewhere between 3 and 5) it seems to
sit there saying "yep, there's some satellites up there" but can no longer
work out where it is. This started about a week ago. There is only one
button - the on/off button - on the receiver and I'm wondering if it's
possible to "reboot" the thing by some magic keypress on this button. Sort
of switch it on and then give four short on/off button presses in quick
succession. Or am I going to have to shell out for a new one?

TIA for any help,
Steve

not sure if your receiver uses the sirf chip or not!!! If it does then use
the sirf demo to reset it to factory defaults. I had the same problem with
my holux receiver and this software brought it back for the dead!

Go here to get the demo and learn about it.
