SOURCE: etower 400i - green power button stuck

Hi,

Lightly tapping with your finger tip should free it.  Alternately you may use a dull pointed object like the non-writing end of a ball pen and knock on the stuck switch.  If neither will free the stuck switch, you may need something thin yet strong to slightly snap it off its current backward angle and set to realign properly. The idea is to squeeze the thin whatever between the green button and the housing and force realign.  A fingernail pusher would be ideal.

Good luck and kind regards.

SOURCE: Stuck power on button.

There are three ways to turn on your Nuvi
1. Press the Power On Switch
2.Connect it to a USB port on a Computer via the USB cable 3.Plug it into the Accessory Outlet or Cigarette Lighter receptacle in your vehicle
There is a good possibility that the Power On Switch has been depressed so far that it might in fact cause the unit to short out when powered up via either option 2 or 3 in which case it could cause Major Damage to your computer as well as your Nuvi In Option #3 you may just blow a fuse in your vehicle but toast the Nuvi. The Safe Route and the one which I would highly recommend is Return it to Garmin for Repair.

SOURCE: How do you get to and replace fuse in power cord for rand McNally 710 gps

Deborah, most of the time the fuse is in the cigarette lighter. The end unscrews. However, if that fuse blew, you may have wiring that has shorted. Much more common to blow you lighter fuse, in the car. Happens with plugging in and turning the "lighter" body, and shorting the lighter socket.

How do i fix a rand McNally tdk 500 gps that won't turn on

Hello,

Have you plugged the device in using the wall and\or vehicle charger? When plugged in does the charge indicator light come on? If the charge light does not come on the then device is not getting power. The USB port could have malfunctioned but it can be repaired.

If the charge light is coming on then the device should power on using the power button or by resetting it using the reset button on the back of the device.

My suggestion is to call Rand McNally technical support. An engineer can perform a more in depth diagnostics and provide a solution.

Power button

Tip on this unit is long triangle shape in the case. Could be possible that it broke but i don't think so think it might just be wore down. 710 ia an old unit an has been out for few years, so it seems likely that with the use you put it through it probably wore out. You can take the unit apart and check if you want depending on how comfortable you are with this type of work. If you need help or directions with how to take it apart let me know and i will post some instructions for you on how to do it.

How come my tnd 500 will not turn on and its fully charged?

Try pressing the reset button on the back or the side of the TND. If it still will not power on contact Rand McNally support. Be sure to have your serial number handy, (back of TND, bottom right)

Thanks,
