Many stability and lockup problems can be related to the memory card you're using.

Can you post the manufacturer, type, size and details of any markings on the back of the card?

I'm getting fairly regular lockups on a Mio 168. On two others (namely PiN 100 and PiN 300) I'm not seeing any, yet they all have the same ROM versions.

I've even hard reset the Mio 168, and not installed any NAV software and still get the same problem when running other apps, so I think it's probably a faulty PPC.

It's very annoying when it happens!

in past three weeks i.ve bought three of these for myself and mates
they all lock up, with or without nav software loaded
my memory is peak512m60k which i do have problem with loading from card reader due to a faulty lock switch
mates is kingston
as matter of interest can you update firmware on these

My Mio 168 also locks up all the time, even when left switched off overnight in the cradle.

I've just got used to prodding/resetting it many times a day and assumed that this was normal for PPCs as it is the first one I've owned. Reading this thread, at least I know I'm not alone!

Hello Everyone

Just as a matter of interest what ROM versions have you all got, If you click Start - Settings - System - Mio Utiltiy then see what it says.

Hi,

I've had my MIO 168 now for 8 weeks. I had no problems, then changed the SD card, and lock ups happening regularly :x . took the card back, bought a Kingston 512MB card - and Bingo, no more problems Smile

.

I have posted the details of the card on the what works / what doesn't work forum.

My ROM version is the same - 168WWER22, MFG Date 2005.01
