I found a Magellan Roadmate in the dumpster when I was dumping the trash off my truck.They were even so kind to leave the charging cord.I figured out that the charging cord wasn't connecting to the unit when plugged in.It took 20 minutes to figure out how to pop the case open(retainer tabs on all sides in addition to the screws).Once opened up,it took 5 minutes to repair the solder connections from the power socket to he circuit board.Works like new!

I can see the ECCO but it's dark

To factory reset a device using a remote control, you will need to follow the specific instructions for the device you are trying to reset. Here are some general steps to factory reset a device using a remote control:
  1. Locate the reset button on the device. This is usually a small button that is hidden in a hole or a groove on the device, and it is often labeled "Reset" or "Factory Reset."
  2. Turn off the device. If the device has a power switch, turn it off. If the device does not have a power switch, unplug it from the power source.
  3. Press and hold the reset button on the device using a paperclip or other small object.
  4. Turn on the device. If the device has a power switch, turn it on. If the device does not have a power switch, plug it back into the power source.
  5. Continue holding the reset button until the device starts the factory reset process. This may take several seconds or longer, depending on the device.
  6. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the factory reset process. This may involve selecting options on the screen or entering a code using the remote control.
Note: Factory resetting a device will erase all of the data and settings on the device and return it to its original factory state. Make sure to back up any important data before factory resetting the device.

My allegro won’t turn on

Hello Jackie,

The first thing that you should do is completely disconnect your Allegro from power for at least 30 seconds, then reconnect it to power and see if it will power on.
If the problem persists, consider moving the device to a different plug-in on a different wall of your home, and again see if the device will power on. If still your device will not power on, plug a different device into the outlet (VCR, DVD, other TV etc) to ensure that there IS power to that outlet.
If after all this your device still doesn't power on, but a different device does, consider visiting an electronic repair shop as it would seem your device has failed.

Hope this helps,
Best regards

Tmobile dash isn't turning on

  1. Verify that the OEM Charger and Battery are being used.
    • Only the AC charger, Car charger, or USB data cable that came with or was created for the device should be used; others can damage the device and/or battery.
  2. Is the device warm?
    • When using the device for prolonged periods of time, such as when you're talking on the phone, charging the battery or browsing the web, the device may become warm. In most cases, this condition is normal and therefore should not be interpreted as a problem with the device.The device has a protection feature that if the device becomes too warm (due to use of GPS while charging, BT while charging, using the device as a wireless modem, etc), the auto protection feature will be triggered and the charging process will be stopped. Once the device cools down, the device will then begin charging again.
  3. Check the USB Port on the device for any bent or misshapen PIN's.
    • If some are found, that is the most likely cause and this is considered physical damage not covered under the Warranty.
  4. Remove the battery and inspect the contacts.
    • Remove any debris/residue found on the device or battery contacts with a soft, dry cloth.
  5. Look closely at the battery contacts on the phone to see if they are bent out of shape.
    • If they are bent, the device will need to be exchanged.
  6. Try charging the device (try different power sources as well as chargers):
    • Plug in USB to device and PC; is the LED indicating that the device is charging?
      • Note: If the device isn't charging while connected via USB to a PC, go to Start>Settings>More>Power>Power Management and make sure that "When device is turned on, do not charge the device when connected to the PC" is set to OFF.
    • Plug in AC Charger to device and outlet; is the LED indicating that the device is charging?
      • LED indicators: Charging is indicated by a solid Amber light on the upper Left side of the face of the device.
        • Note: If the battery is completely dead, the light will be a solid RED for a few seconds while it is charging; once the device has enough power to turn on, the light will turn to Amber.
  7. Try another Power Source.
    • Try a different outlet to rule out that as the issue.
  8. Try another battery in the device.
    • If another battery doesn't work, perform a Hard Reset.
      • If the device powers up after Hard Reset, test the unit for a few days. If issue returns, device can be considered for an exchange.
      • If device shows charging with one (AC Charger or USB) and not the other, issue is with the accessory. Replace accessory.
      • If device will only power up when attached to charger (AC or USB) it is likely the battery needs to be replaced.
Device won't hold a Charge
The life of the battery between charging sessions will vary depending on which features of the unit are being used.
  1. Verify the you are using:
    • OEM AC Charger
    • OEM USB Data Cable
    • OEM Battery
  2. Fully charge the battery using the OEM AC Charger
    • USB and car chargers are trickle chargers meant to get the user through until they can get to their AC Charger.
  3. If the device is not lasting the advertised Talk time, with minimal use, try another OEM battery in the device.
  4. If the battery life still is not meeting the advertised Talk time (with minimal use), the device will need to be repair/replacement.
Device won't Power on
  1. Attempt to charge the device.
    • If the battery is dead, the device will need to charge for a few minutes and then should power on once this happens.
  2. Attempt to power the device on by pressing the Power Button for 3-5 seconds.
    • If the device doesn't power in, perform a Soft Reset using the stylus.
  3. If the device still doesn't power on, perform a Hard Reset.
  4. Try another battery.
  5. If the device still will not power on, it can then be considered for repair/replacement.
Handset Powers off

  1. Make sure that the device is actually powering off and not just going into hibernate mode by pressing the power button once.
    • If the screen comes back on, the device is not powering down.
  2. If possible, check the battery level by going to Start>Settings>More>Power>Power Management.
    • The charge should be no lower than 10%; if it is, charge the device and retest.
  3. Try another battery in the device.
    • If the device stays powered on with a different battery, the issue is with the accessory not the unit.
  4. If the device still powers off with another battery, Hard Reset the device and retest.
    • If the issue remains after the Hard Reset, the device it can then be considered for repair/replacement.

Garmin Nuvi 300 does not switch on. The wrong charger was used

1. If using the power/data cable to power your device:
  1. Make sure you have power at the source it is connected to.
  2. Check the fuse in the power cable.
  3. Use a volt meter to test the end which plugs into your device (the manual for the device should show which pins are power and ground. Make sure you are getting at least 12 volts of power. This will ensure you are getting full power through the cable and determine if the cable is faulty.
2. If using a 12 volt cigarette lighter adapter:
  1. Check the fuse in the adapter.
  2. Make sure the cigarette lighter in the vehicle has power by connecting another device with a different 12 volt adapter if possible.
  3. Make sure the metal tip on your 12 volt adapter is still connected
3. If using batteries:
  1. Make sure none of the battery terminals are still connected to the device.
  2. Try new batteries.
  3. Make sure the batteries fit tightly inside the device. This will ensure the battery terminals are not loose and you have good contact.
4. If you are powering the device on the built in lithium ion battery:
  1. If you have a power cable for the device, plug it into a power source and see if the device will power on with direct power. If it powers on, check to see if the battery is fully charged.
  2. If it is not, let the battery fully charge and then try to power it on with just the battery.
