Faulty I3?? - Powering off

mentm · Occasional Visitor Joined: Nov 05, 2005 Posts: 11

I have just brought an I3 from argos which I have updated to version 2.7, and I have loaded speed camera POI from this site. I used nimh batteries and this was set to nimh in the settings.

After testing it out on a journey it turned it self off three times for apparently no reason in the space of two hours.

Is this unit faulty?? or is there something I am missing??

Many thanks in advance

I've had two units that have done the same, well, one that turned off randomly whilst navigating and one that turned off randomly when using the menu's.

I would take it back

Unsure about this but:

Look at the POIs you loadeed,

If you load 24bit speed camera POIs theres a chance it will switch off when it attempts to display them.

I converted all the POI images I use to 8 bit (256 colour). Absoloutely no switching off ever since.

if you got MaFt's poi's loaded you should'nt have any problems displaying them...it might be the v2.70 firmware which is reported to be a bit buggy..try going back to version 2.50...

thanks for the advice guys, I exchanged it for another unit and is now fine. Upgraded to v2.7 and added POI's with no problem. Must just have been a faulty unit.

Only problem now the new unit has map v7 Evil or Very Mad
