My roadmate 800 will not turn on. When I use the reset switch, it goes to the blue "Logo" screen then nothing.

Hi
Try hard resetting it.This procedure may erase all changes effected on the i phone
Press and hold the power button and the menu button.Wait until the apple logo appears.

Hi,

Try removing the battery and leaving it out for a long time (overnight) and replace the next day and see if that helps.

make sure the battery is charged up good, then take it outside and turn it on and leave it in clear view of the open sky for up to 30 minutes to acquire the satellites especially if its been reset.

if that fails, reset the unit...turn it on, then slide the reset switch on the top of your 800 to the opposite position and once it turns off, slide the reset back to the normal position and turn it on again and take it back outside and let it in clear view of the open sky for up to 30 minutes.

if that fails..go HERE and get the update for which ever 800 model you have...you will have to sign on to the Magellan site before you can download anything.

if you need more help, just post back

It is quite likely that any maps you obtain from others will not work in your GPS as maps are coded back to component parts in the unit ANTI PIRACY codes .Similar to MS serial numbers. It reads ID's and checks against those stored in map. The only option is to purchase new maps for the area you want.

This is the boot screen, Remove the power connection, and reinsert while you press the "Cancel" button at the same time, if done correctly, your Roadmate should continue to boot and enter the user mode.

I have a Solution for this Problem,
i have a Software
Any need this contactme i don't know how to post the file,

turn off your unit with the slide switch on the top. Hold down the repeat button or the one beside the slide switch and then put the slide switch back to the on position. Then select hdd tools then format. exit out and turn the switch off and back on and it should work

This happened to me, I had to send it back to Magellan for repair.

register your unit on the magellan website and there is a firmware update and it will solve your problem

get a new unit like any magellan mastreo series or roadmate 800 ,i had a 700 they start having alot of problems after i did my research on here.
