Garmin GPSMAP 172C GPS Receiver

Display won't come up anymore

posted by newcal on Jun 16, 2008


I have used my Garmin GPSMap 172C for a few months now. The display starting getting weak on my boat. Today I plugged it to my AC converter and adapter at home. The keys light up but the display is completely dark. What should I do?
Thanks for the help

The power switch usually allows you to adjust the backlight with a short tap there should be a scroll bar, use the four way toggle up to increase the back light.
