UBlox Not picking up satellites

Hi,
I'm having a lot of trouble with my second Ublox. Very similar to the first one i had.
I've hooked up everything correctly...the module worked flawlessy for 1 week, and then mysteriously stopped, just like the first one.
So..the issue is, that the Ublox module (with adapter) does not pick  barely ever picks up satellites now. Sporadiacally it picks up at the most 2 satellites with a decent c/no ratio.
To verify if its the location or a reciever..i checked with a parallax GPS reciever and it locked on in less than 2 mins.
The antenna on the Ublox looks ok on inspection. It was working fine and locked on beautifully for the first 3-4 times, when it was new. Now its worse than a 35$ gps reciever.
Ublox has frustrated me so much that i;m amlost going to flush this flimsy thing down the toilet.

    I down loaded all U-Center and uBlox LEA-5 documentation and software,
    as I went through it I learned a great deal about GPS, they created first class documentation and keep it up to date. The GPS user manual will help with advanced configuration...
    I should do a DIY Drones uBlox video as it has a little bit of a learning curve.
