hi, after months of trying to get my toshiba e750 working i have got there by buying a belkin bluetooth module and a holux bt 236 slim gps ,it took about 2 or 3 mins to sort out and took it outside and within seconds there where six satellites,good kit!. the only snag was when i did a soft reset it seemed to disconnect the bluetooth manager so i had to reinstalled the software, maybe if i had took out the module this may not happen? the only other issue is in map view, the icon of a plug with a red cross on it is flashing in the bottom corner of the screen, anybody any ideas if this can be removed,thanks

I'm taking a lucky guess as to what navigation software you're using here, TomTom?

Anyway the plug icon you refer to is there to indicate you do not have external power connected. You're battery won't last long without power so I'd reccomend you invest in a 12v adapter.
