Problem with Holux GPSlim 240 Bluetooth Wireless GPS Receiver

Hello

I have a dell axim x51v, and finally, I bought a gps receiver from ebay (Holux GPSlim 240 Bluetooth Wireless GPS Receiver -new) the other day. But now I'm having a problem with it, I can connect the gps receiver to my axim via bluetooth using the navigation program I-Go, but the receiver never receives GPS signal, the receiver should flash an orange light when gps signal is been received, but even in an empty baseball park the receiver does not received gps signal.
I would like to get it working and since the warranties on a product bought from ebay are almost nil, I would like to know if I can fix it, before sending a message to the seller.

Any help is appreciated

Thanks

I solved the problem, the unit was not defective, the problem was that where I live there is a radio station really close....and I forgot about that.....so today I went a little farther, and the GPS receiver started to get GPS signal, and worked really good.
Anyways thanks for those who read this.

Wait a sec. Radio stations interfere with GPS If that's the case I'll never be able to pickup a signal on my GPT-801 bluetooth gps I am surrounded by cellphone towers (well not really towers those are rear in nyc mostly antenna on the roof's of buildings).
