Be sure to update the firmware by running the Garmin WebUpdater. Download and Install WebUpdater.
It is not necessary to unplug the vehicle power cable as the unit will shut down automatically if the vehicle power source is not supplying power after the vehicle is turned off. If the vehicle power cable does continue to supply power, then a manual shut down can be done with the power switch on the nuvi but it is still not necessary to disconnect the vehicle power cable.
Hi! Please try inserting a paperclip on the reset button. Press hold for atleast 15secs. and this can resolve the problem. Hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa!
I just plugged my 1350 in (had exact same problem) into computer and deleted the GPX (trip log) and it finally started back up. Deleted all of the favorites and such but it working again.
it should show "loading maps" try reset by holding down finger on bottom right hand corner of screen before you power up, and go to www.garmin.com for software update, if not contact supplier for fix/replacement
I spoke to Garmin Support about this issue. There are 2 settings for contrast on the nuvi 1300. You need to set the contrast while it is plugged into the vehicle, and also while it is unplugged from the vehicle. The reason for the 2 settings is to save the charge of the battery while it is not plugged into the vehicle or power source.
I've had this happen on three successive Nuvi 760's which I sent back, the serial numbers all suggested that they came from the same production batch..
Eventually I got a Nuvi 770 which has been fine. I understand that it's not a problem with the basic design as the 770 is really just a 760 with more memory, but it's probably a fault with a batch of components used during a production run.
This is not a DIY repair; contact Garmin even if your unit is out of warranty as they might offer a goodwill repair for free or at reduced cost.
Reset button behind the Antenna, press this in for a few seconds.
Use the Web-updater at Garmin, to update it too,
Jack it to a PC and run the update,
If still playing up, Use the Firmware update at Garmin for it,
(( google Garmin 660 software updates ))
Should be good then
Regards
Richard.
