I was on the computer for about 4 hours the first time and about a week later I had it charging for over 9 hours while I was working on a major project for a client.

Hi,

In that case your main board has hardware failure and needs to be replaced by magellan. If not in warranty it would be cheaper to buy a new gps.

There is nothing you can do to repair it yourself.

Feel free to ask any question or concern you may have. I will be glad to help you.
