C330 will not turn on.

My C330 was working perfectly fine until one day....it just would not turn back on. I have taken it out of the car and even plugged it directly into a jack thinking that the battery was dead and was not charging in the car. Still...no gps. Can someone help? Thanks!! Gary

It had always worked fine until this trip when we plugged it into the car outlet the light came on on the cord but the gps seems dead.

I had this problem once. Try plugging it into the USB for power. Remove the face plate - there's an indention underneath on the top side to get your finger nail underneath to pull it out. One you get the face plate off,there's a small button on the right side of the screen. You can try pressing that to see if it turns on.

The unit will not turn on, even when plugged into a power source. Unit was working fine a week ago. Garmin Streetpilot C330.

Have you checked the fuses in the power cable? There is a reset button under the front bezel. Try pressing that to see if your unit comes back to life too.

Cheers

Shuts off, won't charge battery

Waking up your c330...

If you left your Garmin c330 on running the battery will have 1% life left. If you turn c330 back on again, it will flash screen for 3 seconds then die, even charging it at this point will not wake it back up. TO BRING IT BACK TO LIFE... plug in the power home or car into Garmin c330. There is a tab in the front Garmin gray frame of your screen. You must take like your fingernails and under the logo "GARMIN" pull the whole gray plastic frame off. Underneath the plastic frame to the right hand side. There is a "RESET" button. Make sure power is plugged in while hitting reset. Your battery should come back to life. Cheers

My street pilot c330 wont power up

I am continually amazed by how many people list there problems with only the barest of explanation. How on earth do you expect a reasonably informative answer when your total description of the problem is "my street pilot c330 wont power up"? OK, so tell us more! Did it work just fine until one day it stopped? Did you let it sit for 6 months and when you plugged it in again... nothing? Did you check the fuse in the power cord? Oh, you didn't know there was a fuse there? Read the book! If you want help from me, kindly describe in a bit more detail just exactly what the problem is, a bit of history of what, if anything, led up to the problem, etc.!!!

No signal

Turn the unit off

Pry off the silver faceplate and locate the reset button underneath

Hold the reset button down for 30 seconds then turn on the GPS while holding the button down.

Once the GPS screen activates you can release the reset button.

If this doesn't solve the problem your next step would be to download the latest software update from this link: www.garmin.com
