Mio 168 not charging when using Car Charger

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:

call the techie. That'll the best

Yes , the connector can be changed but it is very fiddly. See this link

Here's a solution for the broken socket on Mio 168 and Medion Micromaxx mdppc150 clones. Cheers

I sent my battery back and it was replaced by the supplier. The unit is fine now so the only conclusion I can come to is that it is due to a faulty battery....

Buy WiFi SD Card (eg Spectec SDW-821)

You will have to send it to a service support centre to get the connector repaired.You can buy it for approx £17 or send it to the centre for repair.it is a common fault with this machine.the connector is soldered on to the printed circuit so unless you are confident in repairing it i would pay the extra and give it to someone who knows what they are doing

we replaced the fuse for our mio 168 in halfords they where happy to help and it solved our problem

Get a SDIO wifi card ( check out ebay ?)
