My Holux gm-270 quit working. It used to work fine but now I can not even get the light to come on or flash. I believe it is a problem with my dell axim 5. I have been using my cf slot for a wireless wifi card and believe some how I messed up the com port to recognize my holux gps receiver. It says that on com port 5 a request time out has occurred and that com 5 cannot be opened. Can anyone tell me how to check the com port and maybe tell me how to test my gps? Thanks a lot in advance.

And the wifi card still works in that slot? Because then obviously the problem is not with the port. It could be a software issue, too, maybe the wifi driver did not release the port. I'm just guessing.

I usually have to do a soft reset to get my GPS to work properly after using the port for WiFi. I also do a soft reset after I'm done GPS-ing so that WiFi starts cleanly, too.

Ive had the same problem happen to my X5 and Holux Cf Gps.
In the end the only thing that worked was to do a hard reset and reinstall TN on the X5.
