Nuvi 760 will not power on.

 

I have had my Garmin since January and have not had a single problem with it. I recently upgraded the firmware and 2009 update and since has been working great. Used it yesterday, turned it off when I got home, got in the truck this morning and could not get unit to power on. I took it back to best buy because I had the extended warranty and they swapped it right there. Anyone experienced this problem before or know of a cure for it?

Thanks,
Nick

No problems here. Do you

No problems here. Do you have it set for battery or do you have the TMC Traffic charger hooked up to it?

Had the same issue

I also had the same issue yesterday, the 17th. I had also updated to the latest everything a few days ago. I tried every way I knew to turn it on, and finally ended up plugging it into the computer via the USB cable. The first time it did nothing. I unplugged it, plugged it in again, and it booted. Works fine now.

At first, I thought that I had accidentally left it on and I had ran the battery down, but once I got it going, the battery was almost fully charged.

Glad it came back for you.

Glad it came back for you. It happened to me once, but I can't remember what I did. It came back after putting it in the computer as well. Still works great

I had it plugged into the

I had it plugged into the supplied 12v power adaptor when it would not power on, the green LED was on. I also tried it several other times off the 12v charger and on USB. I even let it sit on the USB for 20 minutes and tried it with no good results. took it off, let it sit for a hour and nothing. Took it back to best buy where I purchased it along with the 4 year extended warranty and they swapped me for a brand new one on the spot. Got that home, qualified for a free 2009 update, did the current firmware updates and been good to go ever since.

From speaking to the lady at best buy she said not many people return Garmin GPS units, but the ones that do seem to have a power issue. It was no big deal, I was happy they swapped it right there.

Will not Power on

I Actually just received my new 760 in the mail the other day. Like in the passed I did an update on the firmware, all seem well. Then I received a message that the System files were missing, them poof. Nothing, I tried every way I could think of. Contacted Garmin tech support they had me send the unit back and are sending me a new one. Hopefully I have it in a couple of days.
