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 (http://www.avforums.com/forums/satellite-navigation-sat-nav/875385-problem-my-garmin-nuvi-765t-thoughts.html) 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.

Neil,
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 ;D

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
