I changed the battery in my Garmin C550 StreetPiolet and now I don't have any sound...

Here is a video, how to change the battery

Hi Don,

 

You probably just need to find the reciept where you bought the C550.  Sounds like Garmin is protecting its customers when they say $300.  This is most unfortunate thing to happen to you.  Is the Garmin $300 issue as I thought and related to you not having the registration code or Reciept?

 

 

The solution to this problem can be found at http://www.fixya.com/support/r6197735-no_detailed_maps_found_support_routing for garmin nuvi satnavs. I would imagine that streetpilots should be pretty much the same as they're both made by garmin.

OK, THANKS, THE MOST LIKELY PROBLEM HERE IS THE BATTERY IS DEFECTIVE.

There are replacement batteries available. Don't post in all caps please it is frowned upon.

Your only options for unlocking/changing a PIN locked Garmin are:

1 - Enter the correct PIN
2 - Take the unit to the location at which the PIN was originally entered
3 - Send the unit back to Garmin.

Check on garmin.com

had same exact problem. my unit would come on for a minute and then go black. if you take the silver ring around the face you will see the four screws to take the unit apart if you do have to replace the battery. however first try hitting the reset button on the right side of the unit. remember the cover needs to be off. i hit the reset and my unit powered on with no problems

Have you downloaded anything to the unit, such as MP3s or updated maps? Have you tried resetting the unit? What about a Master Reset? If you need to do this, and don't know how, let me know. Just be aware, if you do a Master Reset, it will ERASE ALL OF YOUR FAVORITES.

Facing the GPS system, remove the front cover with your nail or something sharp and under it you will find a reset button. If needed, refer to page 30 in the manual (see website below) for pictures:
