Not Fixing On Any Satellites

Try to use the extension cable on your 290 first.

Hi guys,
i just bought a PSP GSP290 and i cant put it to work.

I have the MapThis software running ok, with all the options ok, but everytime i try to get GPS info, it says GPS is "off", and i dont seem to put it to work.

I have:
PSP fat TA-079 with firmware 3.40 OE-A
running MapThis version 0.5.2.0
all mapthis functions seem ok.
Only the GPS doesn't work....
Already tryed severall settings in MapThis, like changing clock speed's from 111,222,333Mhz without success.
Tryed with diferent settings in INITLOCATION (0,1 and 2). Nothing seem to work.

Can the GPS come damaged?
Is there any way i can test if the GSP unit is working? maybe with a mini-usb cable connected to a laptop?


Any help would be apreciated.

Thanks.
