Can't Find Satellite With iGO 8 nextg828

Bought a portable GPS device with iGO 8 pre-installed. It works find for over 1.5 years and now it can't find satellite. The sky view circle on top left corner doesn't even have red dots any more. I contacted iGO and they say my version is piracy version and don't support it. I can't find device name from anywhere, but do find [device] type="nextg828" in sys.txt file. Does anyone know how to fix this problem or any clue?

Try to add this lines in sys.txt

[gps]
port=AUTO ; 1 <- backup previous settings with ; if you have entry in sys.txt
baud=AUTO ; 3800 <- backup previous settings with ;
