I have 'mistakingly' (Rolling Eyes) flashed the firmware of my Holux GR-231 with that of the GR-236 model (GR236V5.s).
Upon reboot, my GPS unit would not funtion anymore: the unit wouldn't stay on, but I can forced to be on by holding the power button. Also the bluetooth part seems to work that way, but the GPS part doesn't send any data (tried SIRFdemo).
Is it possible to re-flash it with its original firmware or to get it to function again?
Thank you guys.

Syldaril.

You might be able to reflash it but I don't think Holux make the firmware for the GR-231 available for download. Confused Your best bet is probably to contact Holux and ask them if they can do a repair for you.

Alternatively you could just buy a new GPSlim 236 for £50

Yes, that's what I had in mind too.
I contacted Holux UK and this is what they told me:
Quote:
Since we never issued any firmware upgrades for the GR-231 we don't actually have any available for download. However, we will see if we can extract an original and make it available.

HOLUX UK is actually on a fortnights shutdown with a skeleton staff operating during that time. Could you please contact us at the beginning of Spetember if we have not resooved your problem before then. Thank you for your co-operation.

Kindest regards,
