The first solution is, of course, to try recharging your Streetpilot III by plugging it in to either your accessory outlet (cigarette lighter) in your car.......or a USB port on your PC. (preferably a USB2 outlet that has a higher power output).
Try charging for at least an hour with the 'other' cord, if the unit won't power up after using the 'first' one.
If the unit STILL won't power up after charging with BOTH cords (for an hour each), then either open the unit and replace the battery, or, sorry....if you're mechanically/electrically challenged......you're best to send your unit in to Garmin for repair, because it could be any number of different problems.
depending on the model of streetpilot. The Streetpilot III has 6 AA batteries, 2600, 2700 & 2800 series have no internal batteries. the C300 and C500 series have an internal battery that is not easily replaceable.
Hi,
If the SD card are maps.
go to tools, maps, map info,
tick the boxes
you will need serial number on the sticker on the bottom
and unit I.D. in your tools, system, about, it is located
DO NOT
DO THE FOLLOWING unless you know why you are doing it. If you
press and hold ROUTE when the unit is powered up, you do a
master reset. This will clear all data and user
variables. Unlike previous Garmin GPS receivers, this will
NOT clear the temp compensation curves and non user data.
If the MENU key
is pressed and held when the unit is
turned ON, an undocumented test screen is activated
which incidentally measures battery voltage, temperature and a few
other things. Pressing QUIT (several times) from the
test screen gives you a set of display test screens.
Garmin has issues with the newer (ROHS Compliant) cards, so If you recently bought this card get a replacement from garmin.
I had these issues too with a 256 MB, garmin replace the card with 2 128MB cards, worked fine after that.
Push the power button to turn it on then count to 5 then hit enter. Then count to 5 again then hit enter. Once there hit the power button with a real quick press. The power button is also the screen brightness button. Someone may have turned it all the way down. OR the back light could have gone out.
