    In the other thread he did that.
    The gps does not show up.
    Most likely the wrong or incorrectly installed cable

    Look at this photo
    Notice how the cable is installed
    Also notice is is a flip cable. That means the connections on the ends are on different sides. You can tell by looking at the writing on the cable

    i am saying that the problem could also be the fuse .
    the fuse can be *popped* by inserting a bad cable or in some other way .
    the video is not a troubleshooting guide .
    the fuses are very very small and marked on the motherboard with a "Fx" (where x is a number) .

    i will have to look at the schematic (not users manual) to get the number and then look at the motherboard .
    (have seen this problem in my '30 and other machines)
    maybe someone else has the information on hand ?
    if my memory is correct ...
    the fuse should be on the board below the gps module carrier , maybe near a post .
    (i think i posted a picture of the one in my '30)

    i looked ... and could not find any pictures ...
    i thought i had posted the problem and solution .

    Blair,
    Can you combine these two threads?

    Larry,

    It's the cable.

    here is a photo of his cable.

    is that a picture of his cable ? eeewww !
    that looks like what happened to my '30 when i was mucking about with the gps stuff , just after i joined here (my cable did not look as bad as his) .
    perhaps the bad cable took out the fuse i am referencing .
    i am saying that if the cable does not correct the problem , a popped fuse might just be the answer , or at least near the top of the list .
    it is very easy to mess up with those cables and take out a fuse .

    You don't need to buy a ribbon cable from another farther pond, Lol.. Just look to your old stuff that has morethan 12 conductor and then cut it out as long as they have the same pitch. But pay attention to cable orientation as picture.
