Magellan GPS does not turn on

I have Magellan 500 which was barley used but all of the sudden it does not power up anymore. I tried it with the car charger and with the AC adapter, same results.

    I just ordered this unit thru the internet. Pd. extra to have it shipped air

    Plugged it into the wall outlet -would not turn on. tried using it in the car w/the cigeratte lighter outlet still would not turn on. the manuel does not even tell you how to get the unit started & turned on. I hate to spend all that money on shipping charges again when the unit I received was dead to begin with. i also have the Garmin 4040 & right from the start worked perfectly. also came with a simple (get started) instruction card.

I've got one that has a problem with the power connector. Look on the adapter thingy (has the female power socket along with the usb socket). With a pin, wiggle the center power pin. If it is loose, this is the problem. Carefully use a knife to open the adapter thingy (it's glued together). Go to Radio Shack/Fry's and get a replacement power female socket that solders to the little PC board in the adapter thingy. This will fix it. Allen

Reset my Magellan maestro 4040
it could have a faulty power port, but try this...plug it in, then press and hold the power button for up to ten seconds

If that fails,

the following advice pertains to the following magellan gps systems.

Magellan 800, 860, 2000, 2200t, 2500, 3000, 3050, 3100, 3140, 4000, 4040, 4050 and 6000t

i fix these and many other magellan gps daily so when considering my advice , please understand i do not google my solutions.

assuming your car charger is working (the little green light is on) and your magellan still wont start up after holding the power button while its plugged in for up to ten seconds and still does not start..read below

this is actually a very common problem with these magellan power ports...they are poor quality from the factory and always and i mean always fail..the new ports that you find on ebay are 100% better then the factory port.

if your able to replace that power port yourself, you can get one HERE, if not, ask the fellow that sells them for help.

due to some dubious "experts" on fixya, im not permitted to help you directly, but please follow the link above to get further help.

let me know if you need more help or info

My maestro 3250 won't turn on...very sudden...no apparent reason. I see quite a few others with the same unanswered problem. Does Magellan not monitor these postings?...No help to offer without charging to...
Try a hard reset, is your charger working properly? Try charging with the Car charger and also through the USB port on your computer.

Magellan explorist 500 wont recognize sd card. Is there any type of card recomended i have tried 3 diferent cards in 2 diferent units but when i try to turn sd memory on it wont let me.
  • Try to check the Sd card if its already formatted. because if the sd card is still not formatted it will not work to your GPS.

hi ohh_bambino plug it in and let it charge for awhile using a know good charger, like the car charger. it has a indicator light to let you know its charging.

now press and hold the power button for up to ten seconds until it starts. if that fails

Magellan triton 500 freezes up
You might have an sd card inserted that contains information that the unit doesn't recognize. This happened to me when I tried to fudge some old magellan destination maps onto the sd card...the format was wrong and the unit froze...gave me the message.

Magellan Triton 500 value bundle
magellan has a big problem in the past with the Canada Value Pack. It did not work with the Triton. It was only made to work with the older Magellan GPS units.

Best to contact Magellan and see if they will give you a new one.

Explorist 500
press nav + power; then change the numbers 00 in 95 by using the joystick and and then press the joystick itself; accept what proposed.
after turning the gps on again and pressing enter the NAND will be configured and your gps will become in order again. if necessary, in usb file transfer mode, reload the basemap in the directory background maps
