I tried to reset it with a toothpick. I get somewhere down there and leave it sit for awhile then remove the toothpick. I;ve tried this for days. Any suggestions?
My Magellan 3000t suddenly stopped working, and when I turn it on, it shows the logo "MAGELLAN" and doesn't do anything. I tried pushing the reset button, but it goes off for as long as I keep it pressed. Then the same thing, just the logo. I donwloaded the firmware on the website, but when I follow the rules from the setup program, I connect via usb and the pc doesn't detect the gps. It says, no magellan roadmate gps detected.

Same problem, total peice of junk. Same problem, total peice of junk.
This also is happening to my unit, after 2 years they die. The worst part is that it seems that it is happening to a lot of users and I don't see any "real" answers on how to solve the problem. There should be some support for units that sold for over $500 a peice!!! This also is happening to my unit, after 2 years they die.

make sure green light is on the car charger and let it plugged in for awhile, then hold the power button (up to ten seconds) until it starts..if that fails
the
following
magellan800,860,2000,2200t,2500,3000,3050,3100,3140,4000,4040,4050 and
the 6000t are known to have faulty dc connectors...if your magellan gps is
not charging or will not power up, its most likely the dc powerport...i
sell these power ports and will repair them for anyone thats notable to
do it themselves.
if you havent updated it yet, you can go here for the update for your model..just look up your model on the right side and download your
update (you must register on magellangps.com to be able to download)
When you turn it off, do you hold the off button in until it turns off? As for it won't let you reenter data, is the destination off or cancelled to put in a new?
When the unit is off, can you see a line where the screen is possibly cracked? look close. If you can your LCD is busted and it needs to be replaced. Is the sound working fine? Will respond after answers.
gps will not come on
