My old hard-wired A119 V1 finally bit the dust. During its last days it would not always turn on when I started the car. It finally failed to turn on a couple months ago so I replaced it with a brand new A119 V2 that I bought shortly after that version came out. The V2 has been working fine until yesterday. I started the car, but the little red power light did not automatically turn on, so I manually started it. That worked, but it turned itself off shortly after I drove off. I pulled over and pressed the button and reconnected the power cable but that did not fix the problem so I drove off again.
After a couple miles, the thing turned back on by itself and worked fine until I got home.
It's definitely not the connector or cable, and it is not the connection to the GPS unit (the power cable is connected to the V2). Nor is it the power button. I don't know if its the internal battery, the caps, or the original software, but something is wrong inside. Before I monkey around with it anymore, I thought I'd come here and see if other folks have had a similar problem and what they did to fix it.
