Please try and reset the unit , check for fault in the settings . You can also remove the power and try a long reset and if after the boot there is no detection it is best to seek assistance specially if the unit is new as you can avail of free replacement warranty.

I had exactly this problem with my pocket PC Mio 168. but thank goodness, i could resolve it about 8 months ago.

you can't change the language of your pocket PC , I mean to say if you change some options or settings in your pocket PC. to resolve this problem you have to flash the Rom of your pocket PC with an other one witch contains the language you want. for example Rom with English language.

so, first you have to download the Rom and software witch it will help you to flash your actual Rom.

sorry for my english

The socket on the bottom of these is a common failure point. It wobbles about until the solder cracks then the device won't charge. If you're confident with a soldering iron you might be able to fix it yourself. Remove the SD card and fold the GPS antenna down. Remove the four case screws and carefully separate the back by gently prying it along the join. Watch out for the cable to the GPS antenna. Now you should be able to see the 22-pin socket. The pins are tiny. Very carefully re-solder them, and the ends of the connector where they attach to the PCB. The YouTube video seems to illustrate it pretty well.

Alternatively, there's this option which is altogether more drastic:

check: future shop, the source, best buy, virgin wireless, rogers, bell...

your SD might be and SDHC or larger that 4GB. try to use a FAT32 formatted SD, no bigger than 4GB

from the sounds of it, you screen (LCD?) has gone out..your going to have to replace the screen...coting in between 20 and 50 bucks

The usual sat nav supplied with M168 is CoPilot live, from ALK Technologies. You can find them on the web. If you bought it with the software you should have a disk and be able to reinstall. You may also need to reregister on line, but there is no charge for this. If it was installed onto an SD card, you should be able to install from that - use File manager on the M168, look at the Storage Card, Directory 2577, and tap AUTORUN. This should put it back into the main memory.
Good luck

yes...replace dthe lcd ;)

From my experience, the only solution is to change the display

you must resolder the charging connector, or you can put in a service

Buy a NEW ONE!!! :-D

After battery changing is usually needed to reboot a device (on the side of the device).
