Power supply on the motorcycle mount seems to be suspect. When checking the voltage on the "pins" reading varies between 8v to 9v. (Cable input reads 12v)
Whilst riding the mount will suddenly lose power, resulting in going over on battery power, if seen in time, otherwise in just powers downPower supply on the motorcycle mount seems to be suspect. When checking the voltage on the "pins" reading varies between 8v to 9v. (Cable input reads 12v)

After the pins on my 550 zumo motorcycle mount got wet (from washing) the power became intermittent and then non existent. I see green corrosion around the pins from electrical activity. I only measure about 1 VDC on one of the pins. Taking the unit apart reveals significant electronics on a PCB inside the mount but no obvious signs of any water or overload damage. The zumo connector with gold-plated spring loaded pins is not accessible. The connector is bonded in place with a fragile flex cable coming out of it. The PCB would be replacable if you can get one, but removing the connector looks like it would destroy both it and the sealed housing.
There are voltage regulators and other chips on the PCB and it may be possible to repair if documentation were available. Has anyone tried to troubleshoot this any deeper?After the pins on my 550 zumo motorcycle mount got wet (from washing) the power became intermittent and then non existent.

I had same problem. It seems like battery is dead. The unit just died and need to take battery out to reset. Finally, I figure it out that -- it's because the my Zumo550 is running out of memory!
I had a very low free memory available, then after it logs your trip for a while and used up all those free memory - it freeze...
Solutions >>> connect to your computer via usb cable. Try to free up some memory...
I suspect that the original power cable for motorcycle assembly is resistive. I have made a second cable (non-resistive) and the equipment turned off as soon as I connect it.
I charged it for about an hour on the bus connector (wall outlet did not appear to generate any charge). I then opened up the back and removed the battery. Put the battery back in; see if it starts. If so, turn off immiediately and continue to charge it to a full charge (at least 12 hours).
I found other users who experienced the same problem when their battery drained down to a very low level. The unit goes zombie and needs both a charge AND full reset (battery removal) before it can be resurrected.

sometimes people get thier chargers or batteries mixed up with other peoples, by swapping or trading, if that is u trade back, but it you have had no trade or exchange of chargers, or batteries, then i would suggest going to bestbuy, or anyother electronics store and ask a tech, or simply buy a new charger and if you have no results, new battery
it is either going to need a new starter or your alternator is dead. also, have you tried recharging the battery? your battery may actually be dead. also, check your transmission fluid levels/color
Have you charged your battery for 24 hrs if not done so do it now. Measure the output of the battery if the battery output is ok then check the connection on phone where battery is connected and scrap a bit with screw driver. it might possibly have some sort of plastic quoting check both the battery and mobile points for any such quotings.
Had the same problem with mine. Strip your ipod and you'll find that the left hand end of the battery has been rubbing against the mounting screw for the hold button and the positive track is exposed causing it to short out the battery. Placing a piece of plastic between the battery and the mounting screw sorts out the problem. My ipod charged and the battery still works fine. It seems to be a common problem with this model.
