Why is the LED not lighting up?
Ensure the USB cable is properly connected to both the device and a powered USB port. A solid LED indicates power; a blinking LED indicates a GPS fix. If no LED, try a different USB port or cable.
How can I test if the GPS receiver is working?
Use software like u-center (from u-blox) or any NMEA viewer. In u-center, select the correct COM port and baud rate (default 9600). You should see satellite data and a fix after a few minutes outdoors.
