Street pilot I also had a dead battery in a garmin c339 street pilot. In one of the responses someone suggested a way kick start the battery, short of sending back to garmin is there any other solution to fixing a dead batter?

Yes you can send it in for repair, but the cost will shock you. Contact Garmin for pricing.

Hello,

Before writing the unit off as dead I would try obtaining a new 12v power cable and maybe try your cable in someone else vehicle, often the 12v power in your car can short not providing power to the GPS.

Hope this helps!

yes the battery needs to be replaced, even when the GPS has external power the battery must be good for it to work,

The batteries DO die after a time. They are not designed to be replaced by the user. If you believe your battery has died, you should contact Garmin.

your on board battery my be bad contact there website for more information and tech phone # fo help

Take it back to the 'secure location' as indicated in your service manual. It will automatically unlock when it gets a full satellite signal. You have to enter the PIN number twice when setting up the unit. You should always use a number which is familiar to you so you can remember it. If you can't remember it, and if your secure location doesn't unlock the unit, you will need to send the unit to Garmin to unlock it. You will need your receipt for Garmin to unlock the unit.

How do I change the battery in a Garmin Street Pilot C330

I followed the instructions of the Online manual for the Garmin Street Pilot c-340, I removed the faceplate of the Street Pilot and then using my thumb pressed down on the reset button. I then pressed the power on button on the side of the device- the screen lit up, I then plugged one end of the USB cable into my computer and the other end into the device. The information on the screen of the device indicated the Lithium Battery was charging properly.

it would be strange for the lithium ion battery to be dead so soon. what have you done to charge it up? there are ways to kick start the batterys but i need to know a little history on what has occured up to now.
