I have a Garmin Nuvi and it was working fine at 5pm. I was shopping and when I went to turn it on to travel back to my hotel it would not turn on. Is there a reset button or something I can do? I know it is not the batteries, because I had it plugged in to my car outlet.

-   I was using the calculator function. I turned it off momentarily, and when I tried to turn it on again, it wouldn't turn on. I emailed Garmin for support.

-   My Garmin Nuvi 270 stopped working all of a sudden today morning. It is about a year old. Was working great till yesterday and today it would just not start.-   aguru
Just got done "fixing" mine, turns out it didn't need any fixing whatsoever, just an update.
I had the same problem most of you seem to have:
Device: StreetPilot C340 worked great when I bought it and for months until one day, it just doesn't turn on...wtf right?
I was halfway done with tech support for an RMA request, (some of you might still need this) and that's when I noticed the usb input on the side of the device (like most of you I thought, why the hell does it even have one?) I plugged my universal camera usb cord into the pc, (At this point the device was on! and charging too!) and went to the garmin website, feel free to search but you will end up with this page:
pretty straight forward after this, follow the step by step depending
on whether you have a mac or pc, download and run the "webupdater" mine
was for windows, so I ran this all the way through and bam your good to
go, you even have the option of updating the voice and language preference after the initial updates.

After last time when it shut off and the reset didn't work, I went to Garmin website and actually hooked my street pilot to the computer which did show it was getting power. There was alot of updates for my garmin and one of the updates seemed to say it would help the shutting off problem. After that it worked again.
FYI the reset button is under the thin face plate on the street pilot.
i have a garmin c330 and it powered on today for about 10 secs then went off, I have it plugged into the lighter and the fuses are good - why won't it come back on and where is the reset button if this will work?
Mine wasn't turning on either. Thanks for posting about the reset button. I didn't even notice it. Now it works again! Yay!

My Nuvi 350 was working fine and then turned off and would not turn back on. I simply hit the reset button on the back of the unit and it is working fine again.

Hello,
I picked up 3 tomtom's from a discount store. There is no manual. I do not know if I have the complete outfit. As neaar as I can tell the model is 4NOO.003. Can you help me?
My nuvi 350 is 18 months old. No problems with it at all until today. Turned it on, put in the address and started navigating then the screen got dim and bright a few times, then went out completely. Can't get it to turn back on or reset. It was plugged in at the time.
I bought a Nuvi for my 80 year old father. I used it for a few weeks so I could "learn it" and then be prepared to teach him (and field phone calls).
Last night we sat in his car - I attached it to the windshield and turned it on and then said "this is how you turn it off" (switching the manual button at the top). Then it wouldn't turn back on...pretty disappointing...
Have a 4-month old Nuvi 650. Worked fine yesterday - now unit is totally dead. Nothing when I connect to computer or car adapter, nothing on screen, no response to on/off switch.
I have a Garmin Nuvi 200 and it is dead. I called Garmin and their crack staff said "are you sure you plugged it into a USB cable" (yes I am not an idiot) "then you have a defective unit there is nothing we can do". (Thanks...that was $200 well spent dollars)
My Garmin stopped working on day 366. One day after warranty. It quit working a few times before but then started up again. This time, it stopped completely. The same thing has happened to a friend of mine.
I have a Nuvi 350 and love (rather, LOVED) it....it simply stopped working one evening while I was driving. The battery had been low, but I have tried charging it using wall current, have tried charging it using car charger, have tried the reset button - no luck!
I have a nuvi 660 and I have the same problem. Suddenly I can't turn it on no matter what I try. I tried just charging it and then turning it on and I tried the reset button and then plugging it into the charger. It just seems dead. I just used it 2 days ago and it worked fine.
