uBlox LEA-6 repairable?

Posted by Bill Salopek on May 11, 2013 at 1:39pm

Hi guys...

Threw a prop today from about 20 feet up (I have had 3 crashes, all because of props flying off...ughhh!).

Anyway, take a look at the picture...the antenna cracked (I guess)...the GPS accepts power...the red light comes on, but I don't get a GPS lock. The crash also ripped the cable out, but the cable reattaches fine...I don't think that's the problem.

By looking at the picture, does it seem the GPS is repairable?

p.s.  I just noticed that when I reconnected the cable, the red wire goes to GND?  Is that right?  It's the only way the cable will plug in.

    Aztec, I didn't really try, other than kinda clamping/flexing to see if perhaps that would do something. I didn't have any luck.

    I was able to find a used unit for $45.
