I have a GPS 90 that doe not work. It powers up and seem alright
except for the fact it doesn't pick up satelites. Anybody know if
there is a reasonable fix for this without spending an arm and leg
with Garmin?

It could be a bad antenna. It is a passive printed circuit spiral antenna,
soldered to the BNC connector. Borrow another antenna, either passive or
active, as the 90 supplies 5v to the BNC for powering an active gain antenna
(just a antenna with an amplifier in the antenna module).

If it is the antenna, crack yours apart and resolder the printed circuit
foil to the BNC (usually where it fails). It is fairly simple to fix if you
are handy with a small soldering iron.
