Remove power. Pull board to check GPS IPEX connxn. Re-assemble boards and apply power. Same thing…“No GPS present”. Dig into Meshtasx app and DISABLE>ENABLE GPS…Position…all that stuff a nooby, but somewhat savvy, user would check. Flashed the latest stable yesterday and seemed good to go through to last night.

Edit: L76K is getting power, green LED solid.

Any suggestions folks? Thanks!

Just opened a ticket. They open shop in an hour, so crossing fingers.

Scratch that, it Saturday already over there.

Huh? Was gonna pull the L76K for some testing this morning. Turned ON the board, and L76K began searching and got locks in moments.
Went out for wardrive and bumps and giggles…still get locks. And really accurate locks at that, out in the open.
Stay tuned…
