Magellan Sportrak Pro Wiring Woes

tinyejp · 05-18-2010, 3:59 PM

Does anyone have a Sportrak they'd be willing to crack open for me? Mine recently quit, and after opening it up I found the wires from the batteries had broken away from the PCB. During inspection, two more from the data port came off as well. Very poor solder connections.

So here I am with six spots on the PCB labeled T, R, B, G, G, E, and four disconnected wires. If someone would pop their unit open and let me know where these things are supposed to go, I'd really appreciate it.

I have tried "Technical Support" (what a joke) and was told that since my unit is SOOOOO old, they just have no idea what to tell me. What a crock.

Thanks folks.

Thanks again!
