I was sent a DL1 that would only power up and im having trouble diagnosing the issues.
1) I can format a CF card for fat16 to load the setup.bin file but the my computer wont recognize it. its 16gb. What do modern users of old DL1's use?
2) Without a CF card inserted I can get power to the unit and 3.3v out of the GPS co-axial but no GPS lock. Replaced antenna and still no gps lock.
Currently the Power, Status, and Logging light come on briefly upon power up then only the Power light remains lit. All others never light up.
Im open to all ideas anyone have anything I could try?

so no connection with the file explorer with the serial cable. so I pulled it apart.
No voltage on the internal battery. Ill swap that and see if it changes anything

I use 2gb CF cards. I vaguely remember having a problem trying to use a 16gb card.

Re: DL1 troubleshooting questions/help
Any thoughts as to why I cant "see" the DL1 with the serial cable?

Re: DL1 troubleshooting questions/help
is the serial cable a straight through or a 'null modem' cable?
