I am not getting any sound on my Magellan maestro 3140... though, you can hear a voice if you plug in earphones.... what is the problem?

Check your battery

I have the same problem. It seems the only answer is to purchase another GPS. I am looking at the Garmin 765T

hi ohh_bambino plug it in and let it charge for awhile using a know good charger, like the car charger. it has a indicator light to let you know its charging.

now press and hold the power button for up to ten seconds until it starts. if that fails


this is a very common problem for the models listed below.

the following magellan 2000, 2200t, 2500, 3000, 3100, 3140, 4000, 4040, 4050 and the 6000 are known to have faulty dc connectors...if your magellan gps is not charging or will not power up, its most likely the dc power port...

you can get help to repaired it, here
or buy the port here

if you need further help, just let me know.

yes, the batter can be re placed, but i would verify its charging before buying a battery.

make sure green light is on the car charger (or a known good charger0 and let it plugged in for awhile, then hold the power button (up to ten seconds) until it starts..

after its started, go to the system setting. the battery meter should be moving left to right. if its all green and turns off when unplugged, the battery needs replaced.

your part # for your battery should be 37-00030-001you can get a battery HERE but verify your unit with the seller.

if it only has a few bars and is not moving while plugged it, it is not charging.

if you have a 3100 or 3140 as you have pictured..they cant be charged via USB..you need a home or car charger

if your lucky, all it will need is a reset start the unit and using apaper clip, insert it in the small hole on the side. if that fails, try2.62 3.61 update using the Magellan link below...follow the updatedirections to the letter..this update is huge (1.75GB) and takes about45 minutes to install so be patient.you must register your unit on the magellan site to download the update.
