I have had this same problem with my PND-K3. I am not sure what caused the system to fail. I have always treated it carefully. The only thing I could think of is the fact that I left the unit in the car during extremely cold temperatures. My advice to you is:

1) Remove the unit from the cradle.
2) Place the unit somewhere at room temperature.
3) Plug the wall charger unit to your device and to the electrical outlet.
4) Allow the unit to charge for a few hours.
5) After, try a "soft boot" by pressing the "reset" button in for a couple of seconds.
6) If step 5 fails, you will need to execute a "hard boot" by simultaneously pressing and holding the "reset" and "volume down" buttons.

**Note** Both the "reset" and "volume down" buttons must be pressed in and held down for a few seconds. The Alpine logo screen should appear, and the unit should power on. Hope this helps...

-Johnny

My altec Lansing dock charger and speaker is no longer charging my I pad, but the speaker is working. Is there anything I can do to fix that?

Often dust and larger particles collect on the contacts of the charger connection. Check your ipad charging slot and try using a Qtip or a cloth to clean the AL connector. Be sure to turn the speakers off and disconnect from AC voltage at the wall.

Ipod wnt charge

Is the iPod's battery so low that it can't communicate with the computer? And what do you want to charge the iPod with? A wall-socket or with the USB If you have access to a wall charger, try to use that one. You could also ask a friend with an iPod if you can charge it in their charger. I had once that my batteries were so low it showed the "Connect to Power" screen and shut off due to inactivity, also if I tried to charge it in a dock. I tried to use another dock linked to an amplifier and it turned on immediately. Furthermore, what generation iPod are you using?

Garmin Street pilot C340 has always worked. This morning it did not turn on. I relpaced the fuse in cord. Any other ideas?

Try charging it from the WALL charger. The battery inside the unit may not be too great. Try it - over night from the WALL charge -not the PC charger. 8de415c.jpg

It wont come on

Hello :

Have you charged it using the main charger? It's possible that just being connected to the PC isn't supplying enough power to get it properly charged. Try disconnecting it from the PC, plugging it into the charger and the charger into the wall and leave it for a while. Then try to turn it on. Do you have a car charger? Try that instead. If that didn't help , then I recommend you to replace the battery .

PLEASE RATE !

Battery not holding charge

hi dave_hanc93

you say its not holding a charge, but is it charging?

plug the charger in and make sure the light is on on the charger, then on the map screen, tap the screen where the satellites are. on that screen on the top right is the charge indicator. is it green and moving from left to right? if not, then its not charging.

try hooking it up to the home dock to your computer and check and see if its charging on the home dock.

let me know how you make out.

New Nuvi 760 that won't work

Using the PC to charge a Nuvi is not the correct way to charge. Use either the AC wall charger or DC car charger. Many PC USB ports can not supply enough current to charge a Nuvi.

Magellan Maestro 4250 wont charge

No the device is not defective. magellan has this stupid usb interface problem preventing the unit from being charged and used at the same time, they do that so you have to use there charger. the unit will say usb connected and will not boot up like normal at all. unit will be locked up until the usb is unplugged. most usb devices charge at 5v with 500mA, and the magellan requires 5v 1A. Ipod Charger charges at the 1A with 5v but wont work

My camera shuts off

I don't think that the battery is charged enough. How are you charging the batteries? With the printer dock? It takes forever to charge the batteries via the printer dock, and minutes with the plug in charger. I found that the printer dock was not a reliable charger and that when I invested in a portable charger it was a lot faster and easier and more reliable.
