While trying install new battery and charger, unit won't power up anymore. Tried USB cable, AAA battery pack and Li ion battery, still nothing. Does anyone know where diagrams can be found.
EXplorist units have also some hidden and service functions. Like, if unit is off, you can to press:
- IN + PWR - to full selftest of unit (screen test, keypad test, NMEA test)
- OUT + PWR - to serial port test
- ESC + PWR - to burn-in process
- LIGHT + ENTER + RWR - tp uploading of new firmware
- NAV + PWR - to call Service Function window (see below)
- NAV + MENU + PWR - to force power off, equal remove batteries.
- GOTO + OUT + POWER - clear memory and set all settings as default.
IN + PWR helped to power up my unit.
Try pressing both the power and backlight keys at the same time. I have no idea why but this worked for me.
Make sure you are using the power button on the right side of the unit and not the backlight setting on the left. I know this sounds silly, but I just spent 20 minutes trying to figure out how to turn it on. Dah!!

My eXplorist was 2 weeks old. Bught it in e-Bay as factory refurbisehed. Seems I am having the same problem, but I do not want to believe that GPSr died... this is not fair! There has to be a solution! :S Tried almost everything, but anyway it does not turn on..
I keep getting low power shutting down even when I have put new batteries in.
