Unusual Noises From Sat/nav Screen?

[MrADeveci]

I've noticed a weird noise coming from my sat nav today ...... very strange though.

It doesn't do it every time I open it .... however sometimes, I Open the screen ...... and when the screen has acutally opened fully, it still sounds like the motor is trying to open the screen ? ........... maybe the motorised sensor has gone ? and the screen don't know it has actually opened?

..... what can it be ... anyone else had this problem ?

It's wierd .... doesn't do it all the time ... only occasionally?

If it is definately the motor trying to spin still, it could be a dirty pot in the housing. (It uses a slider to detect where it is for the tilt/full open, etc.)

It's not a hard job to clean this, but the motor housing is fiddly. I can talk you through it if you want to give it a go but investigate further if you can.

Do the tilt positions always seem to be in the same place? Go through them a few times and check.

The tilt locations seem to be fine .......... the car is still under warranty, is it something they can fix/replace under warranty ?

Cheers ........

Can't see any reason why not... providing it faults when you are there.

Does it sound like the motor is straining or it it slipping on it's cogs?
