System Blue is not working after winter closure - Der Bergsche - 2023-06-24
Hi friends,
some weeks ago I started my system blue to participate again in the cummunity. But unfortunately, the system is not running correctly. I don´t got GPS sync and the error LED flashed some times (like inidication of a lightning). I changed the now the GPS mouse, but same result. Also the GPS LED remained dark. Maybe the VLF amplifier got an over-voltage??? No idea. I like to change the VLF amplifier now and like to know where to get? Or should I let check the PCB, maybe for a larger damage?
Thanks for your response!

Try updating the firmware, some of the units have an issue with the GPS as there was a GPS rollover date thing. Think Y2k but for GPS recivers.

Thanks, that helped, it was the PS week rollover problem.
Thanks!
