Is my 303MMF Toast?

[davelev123]

In the last week my receiver has been behaving badly.

It goes into a loop of:

$WK: 1192
$Datum: 0, WGS84
$POS: 6378137 0 0
$CLK: 97166
$CHNL:12
$Baud rate: 4800 System clock: 24.553MHz
$HW Type: S2AM
$Asic Version: 0x23
$Clock Source: GPSCLK
$Internal Beacon: None
$Version 231.000.000ES-01600
$TOW: 0

Then in starts spitting out:

$Version 231.000.000ES-01600
$TOW: 0
$Version 231.000.000ES-01600
$TOW: 0
$Version 231.000.000ES-01600
$TOW: 0
$Version 231.000.000ES-01600
$TOW: 0 í$Version 231.000.000ES-01600
$TOW: 0 ý$Version 231.000.000ES-01600
$TOW: 0 ý$Version 231.000.000ES-01600
$TOW: 0 ý$Version 231.000.000ES-01600
$TOW: 0 í$Version 231.000.000ES-01600
$TOW: 0 ý$Version 231.000.000ES-01600
$TOW: 0 ý$Version 231.000.000ES-01600

The activity light flashes while it is doing this, but it never starts receiving NMEA sentences.

Is my poor receiver toast? It is about a year old.

Many thanks in advance.

I'm a little bit late in responding - sorry.

Leave the GPS with no power for a week, which should be enough time for the internal supercap to go flat. If it doesn't revive then, it looks like you have some kind of problem.
