No satellite coverage anywhere. seems to have just stopped working. have reset twice with no luck.

Power your unit on outside, make sure you have a clear view of the sky. If your unit is working properly, then it should pick up the satellites. If so, then you can put the unit back in your vehicle and make sure it is positioned to maintain a satellite lock. If you cannot acquire satellites outside, then the unit is defective.

the most obvious advantage is that they will get service in remote places on earth where normal terrestrial servers don't cover

dead zones there is no 100% coverage ---onstar is like a rolling cell phone there are dead zones to deal with

The problem may be caused by a lose of satellite coverage. This is a bug that is caused when the GPS can not access satellite for a long period of time. To avoid this you will need to keep the GPS up-to-date by connecting to your computer and download updates using TomTom Home

you press ctrl+shift either once or twice, it will revert back to the normal keys.

The router you're trying to acess may not be set up for Vista or may not be compatible with Vista. I had to upgrade the router at my shop in order to work on Vista OS machines.

same here...
happened today...these all seem to have expiration dates

it came to life twice but now , it's possible fubar

shame to throw away,as i have the home kit .. non compatible , or buy another?

How to reset the Canon MP150 after a refill (Step 10 concerns refill; instructions below the steps):
Method1 (Safe Factory Method):
1) Disconnect the printer’s power outlet
2) Press and hold the power button while connecting the power outlet back.
3) While still holding down the power button, press the reset button twice.(red circle with a triangle)
4) Release the power button
The printer takes about 10 seconds to show the number 0.
5) Press + to change the value from 0 to 1.
6) When this value is 1, press colour button; this will light up two leds.
One is for plain paper and the other for photo paper. At this point is feed the printer with paper.
7) Press the power button twice and the printer will print a some stuff (if this page doesn't print by itself, press the "color" button once and the test page will print). Don’t worry much about the printed material. I got some stripped lines and some numbers. I believe that my colour cartridge is clogged which is why I got the green strips.
When you print this sheet the value in the display returns to zero.
8 ) Open the printer cover cover (not the scanner cover) and remove the cartridges. With the printer still open, disconnect the power outlet.
9) Close the lid and turn on the printer.
10) Refill cartridges and place them back in their nice little abode in the printer.
