Customer Question

My garmin crackled, then I lost the lady speaker but the map was working. Plugged unit into computer to get updates. None at present, I was told. Went to car, plugged in unit, and it is dead. Hit reset, plugged to power indoors, and nothing. Bury it?

 



Already Tried:
I bought another plugin for the car. Thought that may be worn. Nothing. Hit reset. Then plugged in to power. Nothing.

Hello! My name is XXXXX XXXXX X am happy to be working with you today. Let's see if we can get your problem resolved!

Try a hard boot. (Remove any cases first)

Plug the GPS into the charger for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes and while still plugged in, hold down the power switch for one minute. Allow 3 minutes afterward for the GPS to reboot.
Let me know if it doesn't work.

Please rate my answer positively once you're satisfied with my answer. If you aren't please reply instead of rating negatively so I can continue to help you.

it didn't work. I tried rebooting twice, and it still won't open. Sorry, I wrote to you on my email website awhile ago.

Customer replied326 days ago.

Hello, I wrote to you twice. My GPS is still not opening and I rebooted 2x. Any other suggestions?

Customer replied325 days and 23 hours ago.

I rebooted 2x. I'm writing this all over the place. Can you answer, now what do I do? Its still not working.

Customer replied325 days and 23 hours ago.

You never answered me again.

Customer replied325 days and 23 hours ago.

Relist: Incomplete answer.
He never answered again, and I wrote the same many times. I rebooted but still my gps won't go on. Should I assume it died?

Power off Garmin unit. Press on continuously the upper top left corner of screen and then power on the unit by pressing once on the Power button. You should be prompted to clear all user data, or asked if do you really want to start up in maintenance mode. Press “Yes” to reset. If this doesn't work and the unit is out of warranty, you should replace it.
