Lots of people having trouble to get files from Gt31/BT31 under win 8, win 10there is no drivers, last for gt31 is for win7 (on locosys site)
Any idea or tip how to get files from gps under newer windows platforms, card reader if navilink don't work, or gps is not recognized under Gps result becouse of drivers lack...
thanx in advance

Hi Warrior, I'd just use a card reader, that should work under any OS.
But if you need to use the facility, and windows 10 won't work, you could try running windows 7 in a virtual machine.
I've no idea how that works in Windows, But I'm successfully doing it in Linux. So you should be able to get it to work.

How's life in Croatia, we don't get any news from there. Are you in lockdown, or are you all well vaccinated and free to travel?

Some of people are vaccinated, some not, no lockdown, no restrictions at higher level, free to travel

BTW Are you tried to open Loco GW52 ?
there is 6 allen screws and when I removed it I can't open device
I need to clean up the display, some of moisture is probably inside the case

yes, I've had one apart a long time ago, maybe it's a sticky seal? There's only the 6 screws.

yes I removed 6 screws but can't open sides, and scared to break something

could be the silastic around the usb port, if it was put together before that set.
If you can get a blade in near the port and prise it gently, that may work.
I know what you mean about reluctance to break something. I guess you could damage the seal, then you'd have to figure out how to waterproof it.

once apart the thing I didn't like was the ribbon cable connection to the touch pad. Seemed very "iffy" to me.



The ribbon with wires exposed is just pressed into that plug.
This is the other half of the case, and you can see that it's an overlapping join. So a tight fit will be hard to get apart.

yes very poor finishing inside, and touch can be better, I agree
