Tips and questions relating to the GPS modules from SFE

Bought the EM406A GPS and hooked up to COM port and was able to see the NMEA messages. For some strange reason , the LED on the module shuts off and I am not getting any message anymore. Unplugged the module for 10 days and hooked up to the power and able to get the LED to blink but the message coming in is not ASCII anymore. How I do reset it ? On the SiRFDemo 3.83 ( Receiver Output view ) I am getting 0xff Error Data. Is there something wrong with the module ?

Help !!!
