most GPS will drain in sleep mode unless on some slow charge. Everything is actualy working inside except the screen Like the TV standby.. no picture or sound but chews up the power
Two possibilities - Antenna (in power cable) or electronics related to antenna. First, do a hard reset. Place the pen top into the RESET hole for 3 seconds...
Next, when the unit is powered, page over to the screen showing satellite signal strength....
If NONE appear within 1 minute (and you are outside and NOT under trees), you have an antenna or antenna interface issue.
Garmin WILL repair the unit for 3 to 4 times its value... A 265WT GPS is cheaper, faster and more accurate. The IQUE is no longer worth repairing....

I only needed a simple answer to the question of whether the iQue M5 would take a Thailand Map. Actually, I waited for twenty minutes on the special Garmin line for this discontinued product and gave up, deciding that it probably wouldn't work.
Somewhere I read that if you do a soft reboot to the iQue M5 it will connect to the City Navigator. I did this and it seemed to work, although between downloading and uploading I had to do it again. The process of loading map set (entire US) took an extremely long time (about 3 hours). Also, if you try to receive maps, waypoints and tracks from device all at once, it chokes.
