Recieved my Holux 236 Slim one week ago.

Worked 100% perfectly out of the box, using a Axim X50.

While returning from a trip last night, I noticed the orange LED [satellite fix led] was solid orange. Multible attempts at powering down, removing battery did not fix.

I've been tinkering today, trying to determine what the issue is.

Using the A/C charger , i've been able to get a blinking led 2 out of 10 attempts. I've tried this with and without the battery in the unit.

Also, have done the same thing using the D/C Seidio cradle and getting positive results 1 out of 10 trys.

Any ideas what my problem could be ?

the solid orange light usualy means that it has lost its gps lock if it wont pick up anything it probabbly wont in the house then charge it up fully then try it again outside in a clear area

When this all began, unit had full visability of the sky. Trials here at home have all been done with unit placed outside.

I did take battery out over-night, and unit is now working again. I've read many post in regards to my particcular Serial#'s having issues , but those were bluetooth related.

Will be heading out later today, so will have a chance to re-test for 8-10 hour duration.
