Alex,
Whats up, man! been to busy now. it start to catch up again from my day job. Anyway, I've got a chance to work on my cf-73 last sunday and I found out that the problem is the antena. i insatlled a new Sarantel S active antena onto it and it works perfect. I need to modify an antena connector on the gps engine as originally it has none(no connector for external). The only remaining task on it is to pour a bit of rubber mixture on the antena base as it is not good lookin. BTW, Its a pain in the as...on tracing those usb line on the sd slot board on this machine. I needed a good magnifying glass to make it done. Here is the photo for reference:
