Garmin Nuvi 770 Car GPS Receiver Questions & Answers
Just got new battery put
Your device freezed that is why it is stuck on the garmin screen. You need to first reset your garmin by holding the power on/off button for about 15 seconds, that way it will restart.
About the battery, when you get a new battery for your device, you need to charge it for about 3 hours before powering on, once you power on without charging it first, then it might kill the cells of the battery as they are lithium ion battery. What you have to do is to remove the battery, insert it back, then you plug it to a power source for about 3 hours, be sure that the battery is charging as the green light comes on as you plug it. If the green light does not come on, then you need to connect it to a computer using your USB cable, that way it will charge. Once it is charged for about 3hours, then you will be able to turn on your device.
First reset, then charge battery. That should do the job for you.
Hope this information was helpful.
Nuvi will not charge when plugged into car charger
- Check that the cigarette lighter socket is working. If not it may be a fuse blown in the fuse-board.
- In the charger plug, that goes into the cigarette lighter there is a fuse which may be blown. At the tip of the plug you'll see a ring. On most chargers it's silver but some are black. Unscrew the ring and the plug will come apart. Take care not to lose the small metal tip when you open it. Replace the fuse. If there's power going to the charger and this fuse is replaced your problem should be solved.

What tools can I use to open garmin nuvi 770
it is really not advisablel to open your garmin at all, the warranty will be void... but on the side of the unit where you put your memory card in you can slip a thin flat screwdriver into it you need to put one above the memory card slot and one below... if not done carefully you can damage the unit rather send it in if you have any hardware problems. they might charge if you are out of warranty but it is better than damaging the unit and having to pay for a new one

How do I turn on my Garmin Nuvi?
Go to Garmin and download and install Garmin Express, Plug your GPS into your PC. The GPS should power on and Garmin Express should identify it and tell you of any updates. If the GPS does not power on (it should go into usb mode), then contact Garmin for warranty work. You can also check the power adapter in your vehicle. If the red light does not come on, the adapter either has a blown fuse or went bad, causing your GPS battery to be discharged. It is quite possible that your battery is discharged. You might leave it plugged into your PC overnight if the battery is dead.
