Hi Guys, I've been contacted by a US guy from Indianapolis. Purchased a RNS-E from eBay, and did not get a 100% unit.. He has contacted the seller but had not had any luck getting this resolved
The pin inside the GPS antenna on the back of the RNS-E is broken off. It is the blue GPS antenna port on the back of the RNS-E unit. Inside the connector, there should be a gold pin (male connection) that makes contact with the actual GPS antenna when connected. This gold pin is missing or broken off.
Maybe I can help him out by disconnecting (using a solding-iron) the wired connector from the main board of an old and damaged unit I have. But before I want to do this (because it's really completely useless after this), I'm wondering whether there's a source where you can get this connectors, or maybe you guys have another idea to solve this problem for him? TIA!
