Anonymous Posted on Jun 09, 2011

My wife used our Garmin Nuvi 750 last night, when she put in a location to find today. This morning the unit would not power up (dead), also will not power up when attached to cigarette lighter power adapter, and will not connect to computer using usb connection. Is this unit repairable? Thanks

I am unsure of your particular device, however consider the following.

Like many electronic devices, (such as computers and cell phones) often units when the battery is dead flat will not start up for an extended period, even when attached to a power source. GPS units can be extremely temperamental to charge with a cigarette lighter charger or computer connected USB charger when the battery to the GPS unit is dead flat, even with genuine manufacturer supplied chargers.

Perhaps try to use a wall powered charger on the device. Give the unit a good couple of hours to charge correctly.

My Navman when switched on for example, will still slowly go flat with the genuine factory supplied car charger on and eventually the screen flickers, the unit will stay on but switches off as soon as ignition is off. When I start the car again the unit will not flash up again for atleast ten minutes. Car chargers for these type of devices can be extremely poor in their capacity to charge, particularly when batteries are dead flat.

I just purchased a slightly used Garmin NuVi 750 GPS unit and don't have the pin number. What can I do to change the access pin number? Thanks, Larry

Hello,

Going back to the security location will unlock the unit but in order to reset the pin code, the original pin code must be input.
To unlock the unit, it must be sent back to Garmin.

My garmin nuvi 750 went dead when i got it to

Hello :

Resetting your GPS could solve the problem .

Here is how to reset your NUVI :

1:Turn the Nuvi on.

2:Touch the tools icon on the main screen. The tools icon is represented by a wrench surrounded by a blue circle.


3:Touch the "Settings" icon which appears as a wrench.

4:Push the "Restore" button at the bottom of the screen. A confirmation message will appear asking to confirm restoring the Nuvi to factory settings. Push yes to restore the factory settings
............................................................................................
Try this for hard reset .

Turn off Garmin device. Press down on bottom right corner of the touchscreen [ Don't let go ] , and then power on the GPS unit. You should be prompted whether do you really want to erase all user data, or asked if do you really want to start up in maintenance mode. Press “Yes” to reset (warning: all data will be erased and lost, so backup before proceeding) or enter maintenance mode.

PLEASE DON'T FORGET TO RATE !

I have a Garmin Nuvi 750. It went dead suddenly.

THERES A GOOD CHANCE THAT THE CABLE IS DAMAGED OR EVEN WORST THE CONNECTOR WITHIN THE UNIT IS DAMAGED OR BROKEN. TRY USING THE OTHER CABLE IE THE CAR TO UNIT CABLE OR THE USB TO UNIT CABLE IF EITHER ONE WORKS THE OTHER IS DEFECTIVE, IF NONE OF THEM WORK THERE GOES TROUBLE.

My garmin 750 gps will not turn on when plugged into power source

A dead battery will cause the unit not to turn on, but it should turn on if connected to an external power source like an AC wall charger or DC car charger.

Garmin 750 - 90 days old

Had the same problem-try this- leave your nuvi off for about 4 hours. Push the power button to the right(lock position) and then to the left (power on position) and let go. I suspect temperature (getting overheated is the problem. This worked for me.
