Garmin repairs. What do I do?

You can ask Garmin about their "Out of Warranty" program and see if you are eligible.

Before sending it in for repair I would try the following.

1- See if you can borrow someone's car power cable to see if it's the unit that's faulty and not the cord.

2- Go to webupdater and update the software and do so even if you have the most recent version.

3- Do a hard reset.

Good luck and lets us know if it works

Can you please offer more details.
Are you saying it recycles when on battery power?
Please advise exactly what screen you are at when the Nuvi recyles.

Have you tried a hard reset?
backup your favorites first)

Meaning it continually starts up, cycles off and starts up again. otherwise it powers up and goes into that screen with the picture of the computer that displays when you power it up inside to do updates.

Hard Reset?

To do a Hard Reset, see

Thank you, I will give that a shot tomorrow.

Go to link below, select your device, and check FAQ section first. There may be solution to your problem. If this doesn't help you can get RMA number and send GPS for repair. If Garmin rules are like before it is usually fixed amount of money for repair. If you get replacement, than remember to call them to transfer your subscriptions (like Lifetime Maps) to new device.
