Navigon 2100 screen problem

From what I read in the manual, it takes 4-5 hours to charge from a 'flat' state (0% charge), and a full charge will last about 3 hours.

Here's a link to the manual.

And a link to a replacement charger if you need one (Title might only say 1200/1210 but it works for 2100)

I would suggest going here and reading about your unit.

Go through the 2 pages.
Good luck

sounds like you have the wrong charger did you buy a non gen one? you can charge it from the pc with mini usb lead, but will show the same screen

Wiring diagram pinout for Navigon GPS charge and concurrent use Pin Pin
Name Description 1 +5V 5 Volts Direct Current 2 Data floating/Not connected 3 Data floating/Not connected X Ident Conneted to Pin 4 (GND) as pure short, no resistor 4 Ground Ground, shorted to pin "X" Use of standard mini-b will place unit in Data Exchange/Synchronization mode. Use of mini-b with a 4-x pure short will allow use of Navigation software and concurrent charging. USB power source must be 1000 ma or above.

You cannot use a non-oem cord

The problem lies with the fact that a standard mini usb pin-out has + voltage on pin 1 and ground on pin 5. The navigon is programmed to recognize this as a computer. The navigon charger however has + voltage on pin 4 and ground on pin 5. The reason for navigon doing this as opposed to following the standard pin-out is due to the unit requiring a stronger power supply to charge the battery. USB current output on a computer does not have the capacity to do this. As a consequence, you will have to find a charger that has the right pin-out for this device ( + on pin 4 and - on pin 5 ). The tough thing is, there is no way to tell one from the other, they look identical. However, I have found that chargers with a capacity of 1000 ma or greater are pinned-out like above ( + on pin 4 and - on pin 5 ). Other than using a multimeter to verify the pins, the only thing to do, would be to plug it in and see if it works. Hope this helps.

Had same problem with a navigon 2100 and after trying my daughters car charger it worked properly. Called Navigon and they are sending me a new car charger.
