Copy data from the supplied DVD-ROM backup disk to another SD card. An SD card with 2GB capacity is recommended. We recommend the following Panasonic SD memory cards: RP-SDV02G or RP-SDM02G. Please note that SDHC cards are not compatible with this unit.

you are not using a charger with the right voltage- you need 5 volts 1.2 amps radio shack has a gps charger that will work

Hello a new screen would cost just as much as replacing the unit.

Check out Magellan roadmate line the 1430 and 1470 sell for under $150 and have excellent maps, smart touch screens for entering addresses and more sensitive GPS receivers than even just two tears ago.

If you are set on staying with that model I would try finding a used one on ebay or craigslist.

you wont be able to use the gps part but you can transfer files back to it

Look in the back of the unit for a reset button, this will be a small tiny button or maybe a small hole in the back with the word reset on it. If it is the hole then use a paper clip to to push the reset button. Note power must be on to reset the unit.

You will need to go to the manufacture's website and download the latest software update which contains map updating. Make sure the update is the one for your device

if the battery is got weak or is got no charge at all this happens.remove the battery and wait for two minutes then reinsert it and then charge for at least 1 hour then try to use it will work. ---------------------- for the user manual of the navigation 5100 just click this link directly http://support.navigonusa.com/_pdf/manual/Manual_5100_English_Rev2.pdf --------------- thanks.this will help.please do rate the solution.thank you for using fixya.keep updated.

Switch it on and let it totally discharge - the battery could have established a memory and thinks that it is fully charged -the wonderful world of electronics where nothing is what it seems.
Once discharged put it to OFF position and recahrge it.
Good Luck

how do you change the time

I woulod think the data is corrupted or not in ther format the GPS is expecting. redownload the data to the PC desktop and see how it is organised

This has happened to me with my tomtom, I freaked out! What there is, is a reset button somewhere located on it. It should be a small hole you can fit a pin or needle into. Do this, and hold the small button inside down... let go and try it again, should turn on!

Good luck! :)

There is a volume control - you can make it louder

It is probably a manufacture fault. return the with the invoice if you have it and get a refund if you can

Screen is dead. Get a new GPS
