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?

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!

If you are reaching out for repair the Colibri is sold by LXNavigation and not by LXNav who sell the functionally similar Nano line of flight recorders.

I would contact one of the sellers of LXNavigation equipment to see what that might know.
