 Mio 168 dodgy connector
I'm peeved. Irked, even.
I love my Mio. Apart from once trying to direct me off a cliff, and once up a river ( which I put down to the TomTom software, rather than the hardware) it has been a little gem.
I love the fact it is about 1/2 the size of my old Compaq, with more processing power. I love the fact I can use it as an E-book, a navigator, a video player and an alarm clock.
What I am not happy with is the fact that when I plugged it in tonight, to install the latest Tomtom software, the blessed sync/power socket disintigrated.
On the other hand, what I am happy about is that, after reading this forum, I discovered the Mio has a two year warranty, and after a bit of frantic searching ( I'm anal, and keep all my receipts) I found the receipt from Expansys from December 22nd 2004. So it is still under warranty!
I'm now waiting for Mio to reply to my email, and hopefully I can get this sorted.
Reading previous threads, this is a not uncommon problem, and the repair is fairly fast. One question. Is it a *good* fix? Does it last? (Okay, that's two questions...)
Thanks, Total PDA!
