How to reset a gps golf buddy voice...it shows a symbol of a battery with an 'x' on...and wont charge or switch on ?

SOURCE: Garmin Nuvi 200W car cable fell apart. Bought new

i have gone through more cables than you can imagine, if you plug in the cable that gives you the computer symbol,slide the power button to what would be the off position then slide it back to lock
1 or 2 slides should take it out of this mode, i had the same problem.

If it does not show 'charging' when connected to power, then something may be wrong with the power cord. If it is the vehicle cord (the one with the cigarette lighter plug) check the fuse in the tip of the cord.
