Garmin nuvi 760 has died. power supply ok. swapped it into another vehicle we use again with no joy. turned it on this morning and worked. turned it off when i went into a shop, came back out and it did not turn on with ignition as usual. then noticed the wire to the external antenna was chopped by the bonnet hinge. could this be the reason it has stopped working altogether

SOURCE: Replacement antenna and flat cable for Nuvi 370

I could not get a Nuvi on ebay for a reasonable price and I was still leary about switching the cable and having the same problem so I just listed mine on there and sold it. I changed from Garmin and bought a Navigon 5100. Once Garmin eliminates the flip top antenna I might consider buying one again but right now my Navigon seems to be a really good unit. Thank you for your help.

Go back into your tools and settings and re select the voice of american jack and see if it comes back on.
I lost the voice 2 days ago while on a trip from tenn. to florida and this fixed it. we never shut off the voice but somehow while using bluetooth or FM trans it shut off voice transmiting.

Hello,

Your units powered cradle has probably died out, this is very common with the 7xx series, see if you have a friend or someone that has the 7xx cradle you could try. But it is a very common issue, if you do need a replacement one can be obtained from here http://www.gpscity.ca/garmin-nuvi-700-series-cradle-replacement.html

Hope this helps!

The power off

  1. Make sure you are sliding the power button all the way to the left.
    • If the unit does not respond, it may be that the battery is not charged.
  2. Connect the nuvi to a power source such as the USB cable and your computer.
  3. Reset the device, if the problem persists, by sliding the power button to the left and holding it in that position for 10 seconds
    • This resets the unit and prompts it to power on.
  4. Contact Garmin Support if this does not solve your problem at www.garmin.com

I turn it on stays on for couple of seconds and shut back down, a couple of times it say battery is low, has been hooked up to 12volt power connecter in my car for close to 2 days

Your Nuvi 760 needs a new battery: rechargeables don't last forever.

Garmin's hope is that when the battery fails then you'll buy a whole new Garmin or will send it to them to be replaced, but it's a straightforward task to do yourself. Buying a new unit might make sense though if your unit also has outdated maps and/or outdated traffic/speed camera subscriptions.

A number of online suppliers have suitable batteries and there's more than one YouTube video showing you how to replace the battery. Click here for an example. Note that the same battery is fitted to the identical Nuvi 770, the only differences between the models is that the 770 has a larger internal memory to enable it to carry full US, UK and European mapping.

Won't switch on

I had a similar situation. My 760 could not be switched on, despite a fully charged battery. The hard reset procedure (power button held for 8 seconds) fixed my problem.
