Takes too long to connect to satellites!!!

I have a PSP 290. It used to take about 1-3 minutes to connect to a satellite and it displayed about 5-10 satellites. Now it takes 1+ hours to connect and shows 0, 1, 2, or 3 satellites. What is happening?

Fake memorycard?

Bad signal reception?
"If youre in a car the sun/heat shielding mis kind of messy and reflects signals. theres a spot right behind the rearviewmirror that works better."

To big maps?

Set Cache to 0 in Config.

Lets see -
1-3 minutes connect time with 5-10 satellites before
60+ minutes connect time and see 0-3 satellites

Heres your answer - you lost satellites - buy some more and throw them up there

seriously - maybe your gps-290 is dying
