Colibri data recorder date error

If you're just using it for OLC, there are free apps that run on tablets
or smart phones that are good enough.
If you need a certified logger, the cost of repair may well make a new
logger look attractive, having much more memory and being easier to use.

I tried to post a recent flight to the OLC only to have it rejected due an improper date being associated with the flight. It showed as 1999 as the year and from what I have read and been told this has something to do with the Colibri GPS engine not being able to register the date from the GPS satellites.
Has anyone had a similar occurrence and if so what was the fix? Has anyone shipped the Colibri to LX for repair and at what cost?
Cheers,

Since a good number of SN10b loggers are still being fed GPS data via ancient Volksloggers (they found a fossilized Pterodactyl with a Volkslogger velcro'ed to his ankle!), Dave Nadler implemented a correction program in one of his last updates, so a software solution is possible. Works great and is OLC compliant.
Thanks for your ongoing support, YO!
