did it work recently? is this new?

did you crash t ?
did you open the case by chance?

the gps plug can come out of its socket inside pretty easy
the gps antenna will crack pretty easy if crashed on top especially.

are you outside in open area

p2 gps normally don't work inside

the more info you provide the better......

There are two things you should do.
1) Open up the shell and remove the GPS module under the copper shield to check the GPS
antenna which on the opposite side of the board for cracks. The antenna itself can be replace
without replacing the entire board. If there is no damage to the antenna go the next solution.

2) Connect the P2 to its software and do an advanced IMU calibration on a level surface. The
compass MOD number should be between 1300 - 1600 an if those numbers are below or
higher you may have a problem with the physical compass on the rear leg of the landing
gear. The compass could be disconnected so check the cable or it could be magnetized.

Here is a photo of the advanced IMU:
