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.

you can go HERE and select your magellan and your model # on the right hand side and it will give you all the updates for your model...the map section you will have to pay for that

just follow the directions.

if your lucky, all it will need is a reset. start the unit and using a paper clip, insert it in the small hole on the side. if that fails, try the update using the Magellan link below...follow the update directions carefully. you must register your unit on the magellan site to download the update.

if neither solution works, id say the digitizer is bad (the touch screen) but the update normally cures this problem!

let me know if you need further help!

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 a paper clip, insert it in the small hole on the side. if that fails, try 2.62 3.61 update using the Magellan link below...follow the update directions to the letter..this update is huge (1.75GB) and takes about 45 minutes to install so be patient. you must register your unit on the magellan site to download the update.

if neither solution works, id say the digitizer is bad (the touch screen) but the update normally cures this problem!

let me know if you need further help!
