Fried Neo 6M board?

Hi everyone, 

Ive got a neo 6m board that seems to have become faulty and doesnt want to power up anymore. No signs of life on the GPS board and it actually stops my APM 2.5 board from powering up. If I remove the GPS module, the APM can boot normally but when I try with the GPS connected it doesnt. 

The GPS board also has one of its components get extremely hot for a couple of seconds.

Any ideas for possible fixes?

  • While your problems seem quite nasty i would suggest that you replace the cable. i had a few gps problems, with the unit sometimes turning off and so on and replacing the cable fixed everything. its a cheap and easy option and i would recommend that everybody buy at the very least a spare of all cables.
