Flipping Garmin Nuvi

[nopanic - neil]

Help

My Garmin nuvi will not turn on, and yes it is charged 

Was using it in the van last couple of days, put it down between seats still plugged in, and now when u go to fire her up she will not turn on, nowt, nothing,  nada,  f**k all,  zero,  nish,  sod all,  none,  bugger all,  sweet fa,  zilch! (u get the picture)


Has anybody had the same problem or know a way of resetting the little bugger.

Neil, I'm sure www.toolstation.com hand tool section (sub-section - Hammers) has suitable reset devices!

Have you tried plugging it into your computer?
It normally switches itself on automatically if you are using MyGarmin.

HI Neil,

I take it ou have googled he problem.  I found This page on the AVforums though it doesn't sound the same.  I guess you have had the unit a while or you would be taking it back.  If it is still looking in good shape and has not been knocked hard or dropped.  I can't see why it would stop working.   While it was left did it get very hot or very cold? 

If it was left plugged in and chargeing then it's a mistery.   Have youtried ressing and holding the power button for say ten seconds?
Try charging it with a mains adaptor may be you cigar lighter cable it not working as it should.

Have you tried a road atlas of good old blighty it needs no plugging in, just turn the page.

I have a  couple of spare UK maps I can drop one round at lunchtime if you want

Having just come back from holiday in darkest Cornwall, I did find the Nuvi invaluable, but it did take me up dead ends twice.  It could always tell me how far I was away from Blue Nord too.

Personally, I couldn't cope not knowing where I was and I bought a map
