Falling internal electronic parts - Explorist 210
|
|
|
| My son dropped my Explorist 210 on a hard surface. After that I could hear
pieces lose inside. I opened it a bit and two miniature electronic pieces
came out:
The first is a miniature black rectangular piece that says C106 with a
white vertical line left to the C (the C has a line over it and the 6 is
underlined).
The second is an orange square piece with a vertical orange line on the left
that has in two lines:
First Line: 475V (before the 4 it has a "." or tiny "A" or something like
that)
Second Line: T34OC (I think is an O .. Could be an U)
The GPS seems to work perfectly.......
Any thoughts?

I'm thinking that one or both are capacitors that would filter out
voltage spikes or extraneous signals from external power. You wouldn't
notice them missing until/unless you were plugged into external power
that was "dirty" such as a car cigarette lighter.
Does the backlight still work?
Is there exposed metal on the pieces that came out? They may have jusr
been the plastic covering of that actual working parts of the
assemblies.

| Yes there is solder contatcs on parts. The unit light works, Transfers OK
to the PC, Satellite acquiring OK, all screens OK, everything OK.....
I sent an e-mail to Magellan's support. I'm sure they'll give me
instructions to send it in.
