The light comes on for a split second after I hit the reset button, but then it goes off. Radio Shack said they would charge $20 to mail it to
have the battery replaced and said it would be around $150 to be repaired. How can this be to just change a battery? You can buy a new unit for that.
I just went to my car and plugged it into the jack and kept hitting the reset button and on and off and finally it came on and then I just kept it plugged in and it was charging the battery.

Try to charge the unit for 4 hrs by using a wall adapter and then try power on it again and if still the same after you full charge the unit try to contact the manufacturer check if there is a latest firmware update for the unit.
If you left your Garmin c330 on running
the battery will have 1% life left. If you turn c330 back on again, it
will flash screen for 3 seconds then die, even charging it at this
point will not wake it back up. TO BRING IT BACK TO LIFE... plug in the
power home or car into Garmin c330. There is a tab in the front Garmin
gray frame of your screen. You must take like your fingernails and
under the logo "GARMIN" pull the whole gray plastic frame off.
Underneath the plastic frame to the right hand side. There is a "RESET"
button. Make sure power is plugged in while hitting reset. Your battery
should come back to life. Cheers
I hope this helps, I had the same thing happen today. I noticed on the face under the word Garmin you can pop the face off and underneath on the right side is a reset button I held it down for 10 seconds popped the face back on and pressed the power button it came on. I hope this works for you.

"My
Garmin nuvi 650 stopped keeping a charge for more than 60 seconds. It
is still connected to the car charger. Will a battery replacement fix
this problem? I have had this unit for 2 years."
<<<<<REPLY: In your case, the battery seems to be getting weak. You must change it.
ONE, RESET IT !!! (See resetting instructions below)
TWO, let the battery die out!
Waking up your c330...

take off the front face plate. hit the reset button on the right. charge it.
I've got a 320. Same thing happened. On the 320 if you look closely there is a fingernail shaped indent on the inside of the square colored face plate. just pull the face plate towards you and it will come off with very little effort.
